Bluebird Care Petersfield is celebrating their fantastic team of care assistants, and the difference they make across the Petersfield community every day, as part of a national campaign, which launched on Tuesday 8th May.

The #MakeADifference campaign, headed up by Bluebird Care’s franchise support centre, aims to highlight and raise awareness of care at home as a profession, which enables vulnerable people to receive the care and support they require in the comfort of their own homes. The purpose of the campaign is so we can showcase why the Bluebird Care [territory] team of care assistants are #ProudtoCareAtHome.

With the rapidly increasing ageing population and rising numbers of people living with complex conditions - that require specialist care – such as dementia, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease, and more people choosing to opt for care at home, our campaign aims to highlight how patient, kind and compassionate individuals can make a real difference working in care at home.

June Moore, Bluebird Care Petersfield longest-standing care assistant – of over 10 years, said:

Bluebird Care offer me a career that works. The role has been very flexible in giving me a work life balance. This is key when raising a family.

I know I am making a difference in my local community, and helping individuals remain in their own home.  Moving can be unsettling, so anything we can do to prevent this should be done. I love spending time with my customers, hearing the stories, seeing the photos. I love being a care assistant.

Some people already have the skills to work in home care; patience, caring, and having a laugh. I have a giggle with my customers every day. I know I will never find another job where I am making a real difference. 

Kelly Barnett Registered business manager at Bluebird Care Petersfield:
