Welcome to Bluebird Care Careers in Wellingborough

My whole career since leaving school has been in health and social care, spending time in residential care and independent living services.

Having joined Bluebird Care in October 2016 as a Care Coordinator, I have recently been promoted to Lead Coordinator and I am excited to be part of such a great team and am looking forward to progressing in my career with Bluebird Care.

I believe in treating everyone with the dignity and respect they deserve and developing highly personalised services that meet their needs and enables them to remain living at home independently for as long as possible.

I started working for Bluebird Care Bedford as a care assistant in 2014 after hearing that the training Bluebird Care provides is one of a kind. I had already gained experience within the Care sector and knew I wanted to broaden my experience further. After returning from Maternity Leave, I decided I wanted to move forward with my career and was given the opportunity to become a Supervisor.  

I was then promoted to Deputy Care Manager in June 2020. I enjoy my role as not every day is the same. I have been given the opportunity to learn different skills which enables me to support other members of my team and in turn help them to develop their skills. 

In September 2022, I became the Customer Care Manager for Bedford. My role is very similar to my previous role, but I am now able to focus specifically on our customers and the quality of the care and support services we provide. I am really excited for the future of this company and growing my career with it.

In my spare time I enjoy cooking and eating out with my family and friends. When I get time, I like to do puzzles or colouring which helps me to relax. Although most of my time is spent running around after my son.

I re-joined Bluebird Care Bedford in November 2021. I had previously worked for the business from 2015 – 2018 as PR & Marketing Executive.

I re-joined the business as Marketing and Recruitment Coordinator. A slightly different role to my previous role within the business, where I continued to manage the businesses marketing activities and I am now managing the business’ recruitment activities as well.

Since September 2022 I am now the Operations Manager for Bedford as well the Marketing Manager for Bedford, Cambridge & Cambridge South, Newmarket, Fenland, King's Lynn and West Norfolk and Huntingdon.

I have over 9 years’ experience in marketing, some of my previous roles included Group Marketing Executive for a national  supported living care group and Head of Operations for an international digital marketing agency.

I am passionate about providing high quality care and support and promote our company’s values through our marketing activities in our local communities.

Outside of work I enjoy reading, socialising with friends & family, DIY and spending time with my partner and our daughter.

Carolyn’s passion is to bring excellent service and care for customers in their own home. Before stepping into a career providing care services Carolyn trained to be an optician at the City & Islington College and later moved into retailing optics. Carolyn talks about her passion for providing care in your home:

Having spent almost 20 years of my career in both the optical and dental industries in regional and national roles, I have gained a multitude of experience in recruiting, developing and retaining the best candidates for my customers. At Bluebird Care my passion is to deliver a customer service experience unique to community health and social care by improving the selection, career journey, training and benefits of their care team.

Keith says:

I joined the Bluebird Care Newmarket and Fenland team, as a support worker, in March 2014.  During my career with the company I have progressed from Support Worker through to Team Leader and have now been part of the Management Team for 3 years.  I currently hold the position of Care Director and am involved with overseeing the day to day running of the care team.

My passion lays with making a difference to the way people perceive and receive home care and ensuring that their experience is a positive and happy one. 

I am heavily involved with the Skills Assessment programme that we run for new members of the care team and I have completed my Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (PTLLS) qualification which assists me to create and deliver our Skills Assessment programme successfully to enable and support our care team to complete their roles when with our customers.

Alongside this I am also completing my Level 5 qualification in Leadership and Management, this I feel will give me a wider knowledge of managing our senior team within their own individual roles and overseeing the day to day running of the business more confidently.

Throughout my career at Bluebird Care I have received constant and professional guidance from my Directors and have used this to further my confidence and competence.  I feel I have more to give and am always looking and working on ways to enhance my position within the company. 

I will continue to work hard at ensuring we at Bluebird Care provide our customers with the best possible individual care experience as possible and look forward to continuing this into the future.
