The Most Important Part of Someone's Day Could Be the Moment You Knock on Their Door

For many of the people we support, your visit is more than care. It's companionship. It's reassurance. It's a familiar face they look forward to seeing. It's the confidence to remain independent and continue living safely in the home they love.

At Bluebird Care, we believe everyone deserves to live with dignity, comfort and choice. Every day, our Care Assistants help make that possible.

Whether you're helping someone get ready for the day, preparing a favourite meal, sharing a conversation over a cup of tea, or simply being there to listen, the impact you make goes far beyond practical support. You help people maintain their independence, stay connected to their communities, and continue living life on their own terms.

We're looking for compassionate, reliable people who want more than just a job. We want people who find fulfilment in helping others and take pride in making a genuine difference every single day.

If you're ready to build a career with purpose, where your kindness and compassion are valued as much as your skills, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

• Build meaningful relationships with the people you support
• Help customers maintain their independence, confidence and routines
• Provide personal care with dignity, respect and compassion
• Support with meal preparation, nutrition and hydration
• Assist with medication and promote wellbeing
• Help with light household tasks to create a safe and comfortable environment
• Offer companionship, conversation and emotional support
• Travel between customers' homes to provide reliable, consistent care
• Be a trusted and familiar presence that customers and families can rely on

No two days are the same, but every day is an opportunity to make a positive impact.

Why Join Bluebird Care?

At Bluebird Care, we know that exceptional care starts with exceptional people. That's why we invest in our teams and create an environment where you feel valued, supported and appreciated.

We Offer

• £14.25 per hour
• Full induction and expert training
• Flexible shift patterns to suit your lifestyle
• 4pm to 10pm and every 2nd weekend
• Uniform and PPE provided
• Ongoing learning and career development opportunities
• A supportive management team available when you need them
• 24/7 support and guidance
• A welcoming, inclusive team culture
• Recognition for the difference you make every day
• Paid travel time and mileage

What We're Looking For

You don't need previous care experience to join us. What matters most is your attitude, compassion and willingness to make a difference.

We'd Love To Hear From You If You Are

• Kind, caring and genuinely passionate about helping others
• A great communicator who builds positive relationships naturally
• Reliable, professional and respectful
• Able to work independently and follow care plans
• Committed to providing outstanding care
• A driver with a full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle (essential)

Previous care experience is beneficial, but not essential, as full training will be provided.

More Than a Job

This is a role where you'll finish your day knowing you've helped someone feel safer, happier, more independent and less alone.

The support you provide allows people to stay in the place that means the most to them: their own home.

That's a difference worth making.
