My name is Toyah Warrington, I became Operations manager for Bluebird Care in Taunton and Mid Devon on the 6^th August 2018 where I have been made to feel very welcome and I am really looking forward to working with everyone.

My background is in complex domiciliary care including mental health and learning disabilities, and more recently I have worked within the Advocacy sector which has given me invaluable experiences and allowed me to build my knowledge and skills base within relevant legal frameworks and Human Rights.
