Here at Bluebird Care Taunton, Mid Devon, Sedgemoor & West Somerset, we’re committed to keeping people in the comfort of their own home.

Every customer is unique, so each day will be different.

• Offering companionship

Initially, you will live with customers for 3 weeks on and 1 week off. Once settled, you may stay for up to 8 weeks at a time.

Experience and Suitability

Previous experience is a bonus but not essential. We prioritize compassion, patience, and caring nature. Our goal is to match carers with customers to ensure good rapport and quality care.

We Care About You

• Competitive pay: £750 - £800 per week
