Care assistant testimonials

The recruitment process at Bluebird Care South Tyneside is both stringent and professional which I found very refreshing. The company seek to employ the right people for the right jobs and this was evident in the comprehensive questions asked in the interview and also the professional attitude of the recruitment manager. The director, care manager, supervisors and coordinators were all knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. Induction training was very good and the trainers were fabulous! The Bluebird ethos of teamwork and working together was evident throughout the induction training which was really nice to see. I feel that my contribution to the palliative team will be valued and I am happy to recommend Bluebird Care South Tyneside.

When I applied to be a Bluebird Care I received a very prompt response from them and the interview was arranged there and then. I was very nervous on the day, not having had a job interview for many years, but I was made to feel relaxed by the interviewer, she chatted to me in a friendly manner and asked questions I could answer without feeling intimidated. After it was over I felt confident and had a good feeling I was doing the right thing. I found that during the induction course there was a very friendly atmosphere, we were all there together which was quite comforting, and helped to create a team response to work. Bluebird Care come across as a very professional company, but with a nice friendly family atmosphere. I think I am going to be very happy working here."

I started work working with Bluebird Care after using them to care for my own mam at the end of her life. I was so impressed with the level of care shown by all the care assistants, they truly went above and beyond in supporting my mam, as well as the family, it made me want to work for Bluebird Care. Since joining the company as a care assistant I have since progressed to a Field Care Supervisor. The company provides plenty of training opportunities to achieve your goals and I would recommend anyone to apply for a role with Bluebird Care if you know that care work is for you.

I would recommend anyone to apply to become a carer with Bluebird Care. I have always worked in an office from leaving school and when I found out I was being made redundant, I decided I wanted to change my career path. My interview was so relaxed and friendly and the staff in the office put me at ease too. I believe that the personal and individual approach to our customers is what I would want if it was a member of my family that needed care. I have had the opportunity to gain extra qualifications and there is always extra training should you wish to take it. I wish I had changed my career path earlier because I really do love my job, meeting lots of lovely people and it's a privilege to be able to care for them, keeping their independence and being able to stay in their own home. I am proud to be part of Bluebird Care.
