Bluebird Care – Where passion becomes expertise

Make a Real Difference Every Day

At Bluebird Care, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live safely, independently and with dignity in the comfort of their own home.

As one of the UK’s leading providers of privately funded homecare, we support vulnerable adults with everything from everyday tasks to more complex care needs. Our dedicated teams make a genuine difference to the lives of our customers and their families every single day.

We are now looking for an experienced and passionate Care Supervisor to join our Lewisham team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to take the next step in their care career, develop their leadership skills and play a key role in delivering outstanding, person-centred care.

The Role

Reporting to the Registered Manager, you will be an important link between our customers, their families and our dedicated care team. You will help ensure that every customer receives safe, responsive and personalised support that reflects their individual needs, preferences and goals.

Your responsibilities will include:

Meeting prospective customers to assess their care needs, understand their preferences and identify what matters most to them.
Completing comprehensive risk assessments to ensure care is delivered safely, effectively and responsively.
Creating new care plans and regularly reviewing existing plans with customers and/or their representatives, ensuring person-centred care remains at the heart of everything we do.
Providing leadership, guidance and support to our care teams in the community.
Leading by example, motivating carers and helping them deliver consistently high standards of care.
Ensuring care documentation, training and compliance requirements are maintained and kept fully up to date.
Identifying and reporting any concerns, complaints or training requirements to the Registered Manager.
Building positive relationships with customers, families, carers and other professionals to ensure excellent communication and continuity of care.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who combines professional care experience with compassion, confidence and strong leadership skills.

You will need:

Previous experience working within the care sector.
An NVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care, or be actively working towards this qualification.
Excellent communication and organisational skills.
A strong understanding of person-centred care and safeguarding.
The ability to assess needs, identify risks and make sound decisions.
A supportive and approachable leadership style.
A genuine passion for improving the lives of the people we support.

Why Join Bluebird Care?

This is more than a supervisory position — it is an opportunity to help shape the quality of care delivered in your community, support and develop care professionals, and make a meaningful difference to customers and their families.

If you are an experienced care professional who is ready to take the next step, enjoys supporting others and wants a role where no two days are the same, we would love to hear from you.

Join Bluebird Care Lewisham and help us make a difference, one person at a time.

A Role Where You Can Make a Real Difference

This is an exciting office and field-based role offering the perfect balance between supporting the team from the office and getting out into the community to make a real difference to our customers.

Your core working hours will be Monday to Friday, 08:30–17:00. You will also support in our out-of-hours on-call rota, which operates 7 days a week. Weekend on-call duties are shared across the team, with each team member typically covering a weekend every 4–5 weeks. On-call weekends are rewarded with a £100 daily payment.

We’re looking for a positive, motivated team player who understands the rewards and challenges of working in the care sector and is ready to rise to the occasion.

You’ll be joining a passionate team that is committed to delivering exceptional customer service and outstanding homecare. We want someone who thrives in a collaborative environment, communicates confidently and constructively, and shares our determination to give every customer the best possible Home Care experience in South East London.
