West Norfolk care provider recruits for employees

Bluebird Care, which covers homes in Lynn and West Norfolk, is to take on new staff over the next three months.

The Ely-based company said that altogether 30 new jobs will be created covering clients in West Norfolk, Fenland and Newmarket.

Bluebird Care is a national provider of care in the home, specialising in working with customers who live with dementia, physical disabilities and many other acute and chronic conditions.

It works alongside its customers’ families, social services and the NHS to ensure each person receives the care they need.

Offering a unique service of tailored care visits which range from anything from 30 minutes to full live-in support as well as personal care, they also help with meal preparation, welfare checks, shopping, social trips, visits to the hospital and provide extra support for post-discharge customers.

With their office based in Lynn, the Bluebird Care office already employs staff who provide care and support to the elderly, and people with physical disabilities across the whole area.

Director, Carolyn Dailey, said: “Employing committed and passionate care assistants has been a huge part of our success over the last decade.

"We will only ever be as good as the staff we employ, and our staff are excellent. They are always professional and have real empathy for the people they look after.”

Over the next three months, the organisation hopes to progress and go even further by employing another 30 new care assistants, all of whom will take an active role in delivering high quality care. The demand for convenient and reliable home care has increased due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Ms Dailey said: “The elderly and vulnerable members of our community are going to need more support than ever before to get through the winter.

"The pandemic has seen not only a decrease in physical health but also mental health too. As a care provider, it is often our care assistants who offer companionship and a friendly face for our customers who otherwise would spend a lot of time on their own.

“Our team help to make a difference to the lives of our customers. We are looking for individuals who want to give something back to their community and support those in need. We offer a rewarding career, many benefits and career progression. Why not give us a call for a friendly chat about what employment opportunities we have for you?”
