Why Home Care is the Most Rewarding Job
It takes a special person to be a carer. Someone kind and compassionate. Someone who knows how important it is to support vulnerable people and ensure they live their lives to the fullest.
Our care assistants go home every day knowing they have made a real difference. A career in care with Bluebird Care Wakefield and Kirklees is not just a career in care; it's a way of life.
Not only is it a fulfilling role, but it's also very rewarding.
Flexible Working Hours
At Bluebird Care Wakefield and Kirklees, we try our best to work around your home life. We know how important family time is and that a healthy work-life balance is imperative to a positive mental attitude, so we always try our best to be accommodating.
We are a huge advocate for positive mental health - we even have our very own mental health first aider - so we try to maintain a very open and comfortable environment for our care assistants.
A Feeling of Belonging
We meant it when we said a career in care isn't just a job. When you work in care, you're not just a carer - you are a friend, a confidant, and a friendly face to look forward to. You become a trusted and respected part of a customer's life.
Of course, our main focus is on providing quality care to every customer, but their happiness and comfort are equally important.
As is yours, which is why we consider ourselves one big team with the same values and beliefs - that everyone deserves the opportunity to remain at home.
Thorough Training
At Bluebird Care Wakefield and Kirklees, we don't make previous experience a requirement when considering new applicants. If you are kind, compassionate, and ready to make an impact, you're on the right track already.
We offer a comprehensive three-day paid training programme to all our care assistants to make sure they know what is expected of them and how to deliver the award-winning quality care we pride ourselves on.
If you think care might be your calling but you've never done it before, don't panic! We can help you every step of the way.
Socialising
One of the many benefits of working in care is that you'll probably never encounter a dull moment. Every day is different, and every customer is unique, just like their personalised care packages. This means you'll develop relationships with your customer's day-by-day.
You will always have someone to talk to when you become a care assistant, whether you're getting to know your customers or fellow team members.
If you enjoy building relationships and meeting new people, a career in care might be just what you're looking for!
Appreciation
We believe that everyone should have the right to receive the care they need in the comfort of their own homes. Our care assistants make this possible. It is due to their hard work and passion that we can continue to deliver the high-quality care that our customers deserve - so we make sure they never forget how important they are.
As Employer of the Year 2021 and 2022, we pride ourselves on the fair and positive treatment of our staff. From excellent rates of pay and mileage allowance to generous refer-a-friend schemes, paid training, and special gifts and rewards, we make sure our staff know how valued they are.
