Job description

Although Bluebird Care is a national brand, each office is a family run business and if you want to join a really lovely work family, well..... you've found it! Working for us is fun, and our philosophy is that happy Care Assistants create happy customers! We will support you, reward you well, train and develop your skills and listen to your concerns so that you can be the best version of yourself at work.

While many Care providers only pay for your contact time, we believe that you should be paid for every minute that you are being a Bluebird Care Ambassador, even if you are sat in your car. Join our team and your salary will be by the hour and not per contact time.

Providing Quality Care

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.

Roles and Responsibilities as a Care Assistant

• Providing personal care duties
• Administering medication
• Manual handling, using equipment where required
• Promoting customer health and well-being, enabling them to live their life to the full
  
  

Your Experience and Suitability for the Care Assistant Role

It’s isn’t about previous experience. We want to ensure our customer receives the very best care and to do that we need people who are naturally compassionate, caring and patient. We want a team who genuinely cares for each of our customers as if it was their own family.

But don’t panic, we’ll ensure you have all the right training and development because we care for our Care Assistants. After all, they care for our customers so it’s important that you feel equipped for the role.

You must have:

• Full and valid UK driving licence
• Access to a car
• Right to work in the UK
• Excellent level of English
  
  

Because We Care About You

We understand that every member of our team has their own family to care for and this is why our role offers the flexibility to work around your own home life. You can choose between full-time or part-time work; all you have to do is simply tell us your availability.

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 £12.19 - £22.17
• 35 PPM mileage allowance
• 28 days holiday pro rata
• Full training induction and a 12-week mentorship
• Ongoing training and support
• Flexible working
• Pension scheme
• Smartphone technology so you can do everything at the tap of a finger
• Free uniform
  
  

But not only that, we take care of our team throughout the year, whether it's your birthday, Christmas, awards or simply because it’s a Thursday. We’re a family and we’re here to look after you today, tomorrow and every other day after that.
