Providing Quality Care

Bluebird Care Rushcliffe & Melton started as a small family business in 2014, and today we are proud to be one of the leading providers of home care services across the East Midlands region. But what makes us different?

We’re committed to keeping people in the comfort of their own home, so we help with anything from everyday tasks around our customers’ homes through to complex care needs. We appreciate that every customer is different, and this is why every day will be different.

We were awarded 'Outstanding' in 'Well-Led' by CQC, have been rated a ‘Top 20 Homecare Provider' three years running by homecare.co.uk, have received the Diamond Quality Compliance Award from Head Office, and recently won the National Bluebird Care Franchise Awards for 'Quality' and 'Registered Manager of the Year'. For that reason, we pride ourselves on selecting the very best Care Assistants. If you are passionate about providing the very best care, then this role could be the role for you.

Roles and Responsibilities as a Care Assistant

  • Providing personal care duties
  • Administering medication
  • Manual handling, using equipment where required
  • Promoting customer health and well-being, enabling them to live their life to the full

Your Experience and Suitability for the Care Assistant Role

It isn’t about previous experience. We want to ensure our customer receives the very best care and to do that we need people who are naturally compassionate, caring and patient. We want a team who genuinely cares for each of our customers as if it was their own family.

But don’t panic, we’ll ensure you have all the right training and development because we care for our Care Assistants. After all, they care for our customers so it’s important that you feel equipped for the role.

  • Full and valid UK driving licence
  • Access to a car
  • Right to work in the UK

Because We Care About You

We understand that every member of our team has their own family to care for and this is why our role offers the flexibility to work around your own home life. You can choose the number of hours you require e.g. 25-30 hours per week; all you have to do is simply tell us your availability. Although we try to be flexible where we can, we do require you to be flexible with us too, that’s why we will require you to work:

  • Alternate weekends AS WELL AS
  • Mornings (7am onwards) OR
  • Evenings (10pm finish at the latest)

We can’t care for our customers if we don’t take care of our team so to make this possible, we offer:

Benefits

  • An excellent rate of £14.50 - £15.00ph increasing to £29.00 - £30.00ph on bank holidays.

  • Guaranteed hours contracts available (after completion of probationary period)
  • Employee recognition programme & bonus scheme
  • Ongoing support and mentoring (Apprenticeship & L3 Diploma sponsorship)
  • Professional development opportunities & 'Access to Nursing' pathway

But not only that, we take care of our team throughout the year, whether it's your birthday, Christmas, awards or simply because it’s a Thursday. We’re a family and we’re here to look after you today, tomorrow and every other day after that.
