Lindsey Clark

Recruitment Consultant for Bluebird Care Ayrshire, Edinburgh, and Glasgow South

Lindsey joined our team as a Care Assistant after looking for home care for her mum. The way her Care Assistants looked after her mum struck a chord with her and she wanted to be able to help keep people comfortable at home. She loved making a difference in people’s lives.

She then moved into the recruitment team, helping to ensure that we recruited more quality Care Assistants into our team. Whilst in this role, she quickly found that training also excited her.

Lindsey took over our learning and development to ensure all new starters received the Bluebird Care Way training. But not only this, she ensured all our team had refresher training, so everyone was up-to-date and equipped for all situations.

As we’ve changed our Recruitment journey, Lindsey has done a full circle and gone back to her Recruitment position to ensure she can support our teams to hire the very best people.
