Bluebird Care

My best friend and I both have started our magical journey with Bluebirdcare Ltd (Stroud and Cirencester) together last October 2020. What a great journey it has been soo far. At the beginning we have been provided with a 3 day intensive course where we have met our superiors whom were very welcoming. My friend and I had been allocated to more experienced collegues and we had a great opportunity to shadow them for 2 weeks before we were starting going solo for the first time. These shifts gave us the opportunities to meet many of our customers and families who were really welcoming towards us. Also we have met some of our collegues for the first time who were sharing extra 'must have' practical knowledge i.e. help with our Pass System (our digital paperwork). Alongside our daily work, we were enrolled on a 13 week long supervised study program called the Care Certificate. The weeks have ran so very quickly that before we have realised, we have finished our certificate which made me proud of myself in a way as english is not my first language although I have already completed my Nursing college diploma in Hungary 30 years ago. I was ready to make a difference in my community so I was adamant that I will complete this certificate. Throughout these weeks we had weekly telephone calls from our manager and supervisors to check on us if we were alright, if we needed any help with anything and field checks too to help us become competent and safe within our role. After finishing the Care Certificate our manager has called us up to discuss our Personal Development plan which has basically guided us to which field we would like to specialise within. All the really exciting options were laid out for me which made me feel extra special and has reassured me that my company is ready to invest in me, in my future which both our customers as much as myself will benefit from along the line. Sometimes you just have to leave your comfort zone and be ready to do something different, learn new things or even challenge yourself. Even if you haven't done any carework before but you do feel passionate enough to help other people and wanting to make a difference in your community these courses are free, to better yourself with and everybody would love to see you succeed. Our very friendly office staff are doing their utmost to help you out as no questions are too small, I promise. If you ever get stuck on your work day when the office is still shut, Out of Hours is always there for you like your Guardian Angel to give you that extra support or reassurance you need. We have even adapted through these very challenging pandemic times and our Training courses/Staff meetings have moved online and now been carried out through Zoom meetings. This is a wonderfully safe way to learn new skills and share each other's experiences or even discuss scenarios which could be a concern to you while meeting new colleagues and this way we could put a name to a face really easily. We are looking forward to the Covid 19 free times in the Summer where we could meet up on the common for that lovely picnic with our collegues and meet everybody face to face and have a laughter while sharing our lovely food and anecdotes. Today I've just received my first Covid 19 jab which my company has organized for me/us alongside providing me/us with weekly Covid 19 tests and correct PPE. If you were thinking of changing your job in the near future, or just ready for a new chellenge, wanting to make a difference in people's lives, Bluebirdcare Ltd might be the company you are looking for. Different shift patterns are available to suit everyone's personal circumstances. Hope that you have enjoyed reading my reviews of our company and make your dream come true by joining our firm. Hope to see you amongst us really soon. This review was written by Napsi Beaumont :) More...

This is definitely one of the best places I've ever worked. You get constant support, online and monthly team training sessions as well as the opportunity to do extra training to widen your knowledge and experience. The staff in the office are lovely and always there if you need advice, but equally you can call on the other carers for help and advice as well. After your shadow time period it does feel a bit scary going out on your own for the first time, but the on-call support team are always there to guide you. It's such a rewarding job meeting a range of fascinating people, hearing their stories and knowing you've made their day a little bit better, and they're always so grateful. I never thought I'd find myself working in this job sector but I am so glad I made the decision to join such a wonderful team of like-minded people. So, if you're someone of a kind caring nature who wants to make a difference then this job is definitely for you. I'd highly recommend it! 5* team, 5* job More...

I have been working at Bluebird Care since last summer and can honestly say it is the best job in the care sector I have ever had. Bluebird offer so many brilliant opportunities and I feel a real sense of support from everyone at Bluebird. All staff have a genuine caring nature and have a real eye to detail which makes such a difference when it comes to supporting people in their own homes each and every day. I couldn't recommend enough whether you are looking to become part of our team or wanting to source care for yourself or a loved one. Thank you Bluebird :) More...

Having worked alongside Gareth from Bluebird Stroud and Cirencester, I could recommend his Care and company enough. Keep up the good work!
