Bluebird Care… More Than Just A Job!!!

Have you, or has anyone you know, been made redundant, been out of work, or suffered a loss of earnings due to Covid? Are you anxious about the stability of work in industries you previously thought were rock solid, such as retail, hospitality and Catering?

Have you ever considered Care?

GUARANTEED:
Unlike many industries which were forced to close during lockdown, Care is an industry which never sleeps.

Our Home Care businesses have been operational and our staff fully employed throughout the pandemic.

IN DEMAND:
Demand for Home Care is high and is growing.

As the UK population ages, more and more people with an ever-increasing life-expectancy will require some sort of support to live independently at home.

According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), 19 per cent of people aged over 65 need help with at least one activity of daily living, increasing to over 43 per cent for the over 80s.

According to Skills for Care, the number of people aged over 65 will increase by 32 per cent by the year 2035.

To meet the consequent increase in the demand for home care, they estimate that the social care workforce will need to increase by 29 per cent – or 490,000 new jobs!

A significant number of these will need to be in highly skilled, high-paid managerial positions.

Those gaining the relevant skills now will be highly employable and in demand for years to come.

There’s never been a better opportunity for career development!

CAREER PROGRESSION:
We have a strong track record of promoting from within, creating a direct career pathway from frontline care work to back-office management roles – all the way to registered manager.

For those for whom frontline care work will always be their passion and where they will want to remain, we have “Mentor” roles so they’re able to put their experience to the most effective use in nurturing new talent, without losing that direct contact with their cherished customers.

We also offer plenty of in-house training as well as routes to fully funded or subsidised formal qualifications (including L2, L3 & L5 Diplomas in Health and Social Care, and more).

REWARDING:
Care is an extremely rewarding profession in a way that few others can match.

Many of our vulnerable customers live alone, receive few visitors and have limited or no ability to leave home unaccompanied.

Sometimes we’re the only person they’re seeing that day, and they’re incredibly grateful for everything we do for them.

Seeing the impact that these small, simple acts of kindness have on their daily lives makes Home Care an extremely heart-warming and rewarding career to pursue.

TAILORED TO YOU:
We offer competitive rates of pay, well above the National Living Wage, including salaried and flexible contracts, catering for both main household breadwinners as well as secondary earners, who are often looking for more bespoke working hours.

Our book of customers is constantly changing, as are their needs, and we have a long list of would-be customers wanting to start, therefore we always have opportunities for new people to join us.

EXPERIENCE:
Is not necessary! Attitude is everything. All that’s required is willingness to learn and a genuine concern for the welfare of vulnerable adults.
