Kellie Woodcraft

I joined Bluebird Care in 2017 having worked in care on and off since I was 17 years old.
Since joining the Southend and Rochford team I have worked hard to build good relationships with both staff and customers alike. This has enable me to match the skills and abilities or the care worker with the needs of the customer, yielding maximum customer and staff satisfaction.
I consistently take part in regular training and I am currently working towards my QCF / NVQ Level 5 qualification.
As office manager of Bluebird Care Southend and Rochford I oversee the professional and compassionate workings of both the office staff and care staff.

Charlotte Nardolilli
Supervisor
My name is Charlotte, I am a Supervisor at Bluebird Care, I assist our wonderful customers in all aspects of life, from personal care to taking them out for weekly shopping trips and everything in between! I started with Bluebird Care in January 2018 which was my first ever care job! I always thought I could never do care work as I didn't feel the personal care side of things was for me! I'm glad I took the jump, as I've been on some amazing training and the support you receive from the team is outstanding. I feel that since I started working at Bluebird that Care I have found my calling! I love everything about my job (well most of it!) but I really wouldn't be in my job if I didn't enjoy it. My most satisfying part of my job is seeing the customers being as independent as possible within the home and supporting as required! I have also, just completed my Level 3 NVQ in Health & Social Care.

Live in Care is classed as a significant purchase, and whilst more cost effective than a residential setting the management of each individual Live in Care package requires a lot of time and attention.

Whilst we are all well experienced in this service, we never lose sight of the difference we make in our customer's life’s.

I have worked in the care sector for the last 13 years in several different areas of health and social care including domiciliary care, adult social care, caring for children and young people with disabilities, complex medical needs and specialising in safeguarding children and adults. I have a passion for Teaching and Learning and helping others achieve their aspirations. Mostly recently I have been working with learners to achieve their Level 3, Level 4 and Level 5 qualifications in Health and Social Care. Within my job role, supporting others to develop their skills and knowledge and seeing that progression over a number of years has made me desire to work within the Education and Training field of the care sector.

Natasha Schneider

Hi there, my name is Natasha and I am the Senior Manager and Designated Safeguarding Lead of Bluebird Care Southend & Rochford. I have worked within the care sector since I was 16 years old and have had the pleasure in managing children’s services, learning disability short breaks and four years ago returned to manage Mid Essex adult care provision. My passion is ensuring that every individual receives exceptional care and that every day a little touch of magic is sprinkled to all those involved at Bluebird Care, staff, customers and their families.
Lucy McCormack
Director
I often joke that “Bluebird Care is in my blood.” This is because I was born into the Bluebird Care family, with both parents ambitious and hardworking directors. As an inspirational leader, I can set a goal and do everything in my power to achieve it, which empowers those around me
One of my personal ethos is championing career development. I am enthusiastic about the personal and professional development of my team members throughout Bluebird Care Essex and their surrounding offices.
I believe in our Bluebird Care vision, which invites my team and those around me to adopt a similar clarity of mind. My role today is centered around identifying where the business would benefit from extra attention and efficiencies, and actively working alongside the office and care teams to facilitate solutions.
