Job description

STOP what you’re doing. If you don’t read this, you will miss an opportunity of a lifetime!

We’ve all looked after somebody at some point in our lives whether it’s a child, a partner or even other family members. Think about that rewarding feeling you get when you’re able to make them smile, feel better or even make a difference.

Working for Bluebird Care means you can experience that every day multiple times a day. It would be silly not to apply.

It doesn’t matter if you haven’t had any formal training, we’ll provide you with training, shadowing and mentoring. We’ll be here to support you every step of the way.

All we ask is that you have access to a vehicle with a full valid UK driving licence so that you can travel between our customer's homes. But most importantly that you bring your caring and passionate flare to every single customer visit.

This role is heavily focused on delivering personal care, but it is more than that, it’s about delivering an experience. We may be the only people some of our customers see daily, so it’s about delivering an experience. We need to ensure our customers feel safe at home but also that they still get to carry out the hobbies and interests that they know and love.

Requirements

• Full and valid UK driving licence with access to a vehicle. This is a MUST as you will be travelling between customers' homes.
• Right to work in the UK
• Excellent level of English
  
  

Benefits

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

• Competitive rates of pay; £12-£18 per hour
• Paid mileage 35p per mile
• Full training during induction
• Comprehensive training and development opportunities
• Supportive supervision and regular support sessions
• Smartphone technology so you can do everything at the tap of a finger
• Flexible working
• Pension scheme
• 28 days paid holiday inc. bank holidays
• Refer a friend scheme
