Jane & John Perry have been a part of the Bluebird Care team since they bought their first office in 2007 with the Edinburgh franchise. Jane, who is originally from Glasgow, then had the opportunity to purchase the Bluebird Care Glasgow South franchise in 2012 and jumped at the chance. Quality and passion are the two main themes that run through the businessess and this has been reflected in the awards and commendations from the various orgarnisations within the care sector. 

Annually inspected by the Care Inspectorate, they are extremely proud of the ratings over the past 5 years of grades of 6's (Excellent) for the quality of the staffing,management and care and support.

10 years and counting, they are still as passionate about delivering a bespoke, quality service now, as they were then!

Both of them had never been involved in the care sector, prior to signing up with Bluebird Care - Jane was in an accountancy role and John had been in sales and management - and both decided it was time for change; Jane comments:

Bluebird Care Glasgow South have a great team of well trained, professional, commited staff, who all go that extra mile to make sure that they deliver the best care at home service possible. We hope you agree!

Jane Perry has owned the Bluebird Care Glasgow South franchise along with her husband John since 2012 and is still as passionate about delivering the best bespoke, quality care service now, as she was back then!

Jane knows her business inside and out and has done everything from caring, to co-ordinating. Through her main role as Company Director for both franchises, Jane oversees both the Edinburgh & Glasgow offices, ensuring that the interests and wellbeing of all of the customers and staff are met and that both businesses run smoothly and effectively.

Jane comments:

Hi my name is Shirley MacKenzie and I have worked with Bluebird Care Glasgow South since July 2018 as a Field Care Supervisor. Most recently I have been promoted to the position of Deputy Care Manager and I am honoured and very excited about this opportunity.

I have worked in the Care Sector for 20 years and have gained a vast amount of experience over that time. I left for just over a year but it just goes to show that you come back to what you know and love best.

I am very passionate about the standard of care that we at Bluebird Care Glasgow South provide to our Customers in the area and it is very important to me that everyone is treated as an individual  with person centred care.

On a personal note, I have a Daughter called Laura who is travelling around Australia for 2 years. Missing her so much but what an adventure she is having!!!!! My colleagues may get tired hearing the stories……

The Bluebird Care family have warmly welcomed me into the company and I look forward to building up close relations with colleagues and customers for the foreseeable future.

Catherine has worked with Bluebird Care since August 2015, initially as a care assisitant, was quickly promoted to the role of Supervisor.

You will meet Catherine out in the field, carrying out customer reviews or supporting and mentoring her fellow colleagues. She is always professional, efficient and is admired and respected by both customers and staff alike.

Catherine has a lovely, gentle caring attitude and is always ready to go that extra mile with a positive ‘can do’ attitude.

When I first moved to Scotland 5 years ago, I worked for a Recruitment company and this opened my eyes to the Care Sector.  An opportunity arose at Bluebird Care as a Coordinator, which I applied for and was successful.  I started with Bluebird Care in March 2011 and have not looked back since.  I loved my role as a coordinator and in 2012 won Coordinator of the Year at the Scottish Care Awards.  This was a very proud moment for myself. 
 
I took a short break from the business to have my little girl, and have returned as the HR and Training Manager.  This role is rewarding and enables me to do a job that I am passionate about.  I get to work with all staff members in regards to their personal development and career with Bluebird Care, whilst being able to also work on projects such as Step Into Leadership and Lesson Plans/Observations.  I enjoy developing new resources and delivering training and mentoring where possible.  The other important role with job is supporting the management team and Directors with recruitment, changes within the business and absence management.
