Overview
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 and our customers. While Bluebird Care is a national home care provider, our office is a locally owned family business, run separately to other branches.
What we do: We're committed to keeping elderly and vulnerable people living in the comfort of their own homes, as an alternative to residential care. As a live-in care assistant, you would provide an unrivalled level of care and support by living with our customer in their home for a defined period of time. You would therefore be entitled to regular breaks, both during your working days and to take time off. While many companies only pay live-in care assistants for contact time, we also pay for your journeys to and from each customer.
