Bluebird Care started as a small family business in 2004, and today we are proud to be one of the largest providers of home care services across the UK. But what makes us different?

We’re committed to keeping people in the comfort of their own home, so we help with anything from everyday tasks around our customers’ homes through to complex care needs. We appreciate that every customer is different, and this is why every day will be different.

Although we try to be flexible where we can, we do require you to be flexible with us too, that’s why we will require you to work **date/times required**.

We can’t care for our customers if we don’t take care of our team so to make this possible, we offer:

• An excellent rate of £13.85 weekdays, £14.85 weekends and £20.77 bank holidays
• 45p mileage allowance
