Welcome to Bluebird Care Careers in Lancaster & South Lakeland

Steph is responsible for recruiting and retaining quality staff.  Only the pick of the crop make it to Bluebird Care.  Steph also ensures everyone is trained to the highest possible standard throughout our company.  She is a real people-person and guaranteed to put a smile on your face if you meet her.  

She brings with her a fantastic range of experience, from dental nursing to practice management and then to care management.  She has even been Operations Director for one of the oldest theatres in the country.

Steph also coordinates and delivers our training programme.  Our staff are given fantastic training before they go out working and receive important refresher training on an ongoing basis thereafter.

Steph does so much more than just recruitment, often coming up with innovative solutions to tricky problems.  It really is hard to imagine how we ever managed without her!

Alyson is our Branch Manager, she is responsible for taking important decisions regarding the safety and effectiveness of our service.

Before turning to a career in care, Alyson worked as a busy secretary/administrator in a firm of solicitors.  But caring for people is firmly where Alyson's heart lies and she is now developing her health and social care qualifications.  

Alyson has three delightful young children and loves spending her spare time doing fun things with her family.  She also enjoys reading and supplying the rest of the office team with cake, biscuits and chocolate.........

Rachel is our ambassador for the live-in care service.  Live-in care is a specialism of ours and part of the reason we are so good at it is the way we work closely with our customers and their family members in getting the plan of care just right.  Rachel then also ensures our carers in situ receive the best support and encouragement to keep them feeling confident in all that they do.

We are extremely proud of the quality of live-in care service.

Rachel joined us a carer when she was only 18.  And from the outset was brilliant at her job because caring for people is just what Rachel does. She says she can't imagine doing anything else. She has now fulfilled a number of roles within the company and currently working as Live-in Care Manager to better manage work with family life.  

She has two very young children and enjoys spending as much time with them as she possibly can.

Welcome to Bluebird Care for Lancaster and South Lakeland!  I am delighted to be directing premium care services in my home area.

My Role

My job is to make sure we provide our customers with precisely the care they want, in the way they choose, offering the value-for-money they expect.  That means:

• working with our customers and their families at a personal level to get things right
• recruiting the best staff, with the right values and caring, "can-do" personalities 
• investing in the training, skills and professional development of our staff, as well as offering terms and conditions commensurate with a high quality service.
• developing effective and robust quality systems that guarantee reliability and consistency of service to customers, whatever unforeseen obstacles might get thrown in the way
• always looking for ways we can innovate so as to continually improve on what we offer 

About Me

I started Bluebird Care Lancaster and South Lakeland in 2015, having always had a personal interest in care and caring, and in more recent years hands-on experience supporting close relatives with dementia. 

My professional background is in public policy and administration – my first career was as a diplomat, but I moved to the Lancaster in 2005 to raise our children and worked for Lancashire County Council in promoting transparent and accountable public services.  

I have been hugely inspired by the opportunity to develop my own care business as a member of Bluebird Care network, to bring together my passion for excellent care with my professional skills.

I am married with four children. I love living in the Morecambe Bay area, proud of its rich natural beauty and cultural heritage.   My hobbies include reading and sports - especially walking in the Bowland or Lakeland hills and horseriding.  And as I move past the 50 mark, I find I am loving gardening too!

Uncompromising Dedication to Quality

Bluebird Care was established in 2004 by Paul and Lisa Tarsey who revolutionised how care at home services were provided, striving for the highest quality and valuing the role of the care worker.  They named it after Paul's boyhood hero Sir Donald Campbell and his famous "Bluebird" speed machines, as a tribute to Campbell's uncompromising and awe-inspiring dedication to achievement.  What an honour for me then that, not only am I part of a business network with such esteemable core values, but that the area I cover includes Campbell's very own Lake Coniston and houses full-sized replicas of the "Bluebirds" at Newby Bridge. 

Rohit's role, amongst other things, is to manage the financial flows within the company.  He makes sure that the invoices we produce are accurate and get paid on time.  In turn, this allows him to facilitate payment of salaries and wages to our employees.  

Rohit is a graduate in economics.  He came to Lancaster from India with his wife Akshata who is studying at Lancaster University Management School.  He contines to work part time remotely for an Indian company.  

Rohit is a self-confessed workaholic.  He is also an excellent cook.
