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.

I am a keen researcher of all things Psychology and behaviour based, I love to read, listen to music and going for very long walks with my 3 very large Huskies!

I am always keen to talk to people who work in or use our services, and of course happy to discuss any care enquiries so please do contact the office if you would like have a chat. I look forward to hearing from you!
