Bluebird Care – Where you change lives

We’re the best at what we do and it’s all thanks to talented people like you. As the leading Home Care provider, we take pride in our work - and we’re looking for a caring and dedicated Care Assistant  to join our School Hours  Care Expert Team and help us set the standard. 

We are seeking a caring individual to join our 9.00am-2.30pm team. This sought-after position was designed for those who can offer a lot to care, but traditional hours such as early mornings, evenings and weekend work would not be best suited to their family life. 

Our '9 - 2.30' rounds mainly support our customers who do not require full-time care, but rather those who might need one or two visits a week to help with personal care, household chores, or their weekly food shop. The role is varied, and you will visit a range of people who need just a little support to remain independent. A willingness to travel across our area to provide care is essential. 

If you’re ready to take on a new challenge, supporting our customers with the best quality care, then this is where you belong.
