My Name is Liz Jones-Salgueiral and I am the Recruitment Business Partner for Bluebird Care, I joined the company in June 2020.

Within my role at Bluebird I oversee the recruitment function of the business to find the best talent to join our team and meet our customers care needs while working to showcase care as a career path to people new to the industry.

I have extensive experience in recruitment having worked in recruitment for 12 years across different market segments.

While I am not at work I am spending time with friends and family or sat on the sofa with my very lazy greyhound.

My name is Jacqueline Cubitt or Jackie as I like to be known and have lived in somerset since September 2018 after moving from London to be closer to family. 

 I started working for Bluebird care in January 2019 as a Carer for the West Somerset team. In October 2019 the opportunity arose for the position of care co-ordinator for West Somerset and Sedgemoor. 

 In my role I co-ordinate staff for both areas creating rosters for their calls to our customers.  I also answer the phones to customers and carers answering queries and resolving any issues that may arise no two days are ever the same at Bluebird though.

I previously worked for Carphone warehouse in their head office as a Finance administrator where I worked for 24 years. Previous to that I was a live in Nanny. Upon my move to Somerset I decided to go back to the caring profession as I wanted to do something to help others...why not be a carer I said and so here I am.

When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my Dog Tasia and Husband Richard enjoying our new life in Somerset yes, the Quantocks do remind me of Kos at times that's our own little bit of Greece right on my doorstep.  I also like to holiday in Kos Greece where my parents reside and try to get there at least once a year.  Although I do find time to potter around in the garden when not busy creating flowerpot men.... yes I am slightly Potty at times.
