About Us

Who are we and what do we do?

Join our team; make a real difference.

They say ‘home is where the heart is’, and  we keep our customers safe and cared for in theirs.

More people than ever are choosing to receive care at home, but what makes them choose Bluebird Care?

Located at Wakefield 41 Business Park, Wakefield, we've been providing person-centred care around Wakefield since 2014 - expanding into Huddersfield in 2019. Our Care Experts are the face of our company; it’s our care teams that enable our customers to stay in the comfort of their own homes. Our teams provide vital care and support as well as building and growing relationships, bringing smiles to our customer's faces, laughing, sharing experiences, listening to stories and sometimes wiping away tears.

We treat our customers with as much love and care as we would our own family - because that's exactly what they deserve.

Being a part of our team is immensely rewarding, but it also demands commitment and professionalism. Working with some of the most vulnerable members of society can give enormous satisfaction to the right person. It offers the opportunity to make a real difference to people’s lives; a vocation rather than just a job. Where passion becomes expertise.

We're looking for people who are as passionate about great care as we are. If you think that's you, we want to hear from you!
