Bluebird Care are proud to be rated outstanding by the CQC. A rating that was awarded to us due to the way we care for both our staff andour customers.
While Bluebird Care is a national home care provider, our office is a locally owned family business, run separately toother branches.
We'recommitted to keeping elderly and vulnerablepeople living in the comfort of their own homes (as an alternative to residential care) throughout Petersfield, Liphook,Havant and the surrounding areas. While many companies only pay Care Assistants for contact time, we believe you should be paid for every minute you work, so wepay for both travel time and mileage.
On average, travel time equates to 10% of your working time, so put simply,working for a company that doesn't paytravel time means you'll be unpaid for 10% of every working day.
