Sandra
Live-In Care Supervisor
Prior to starting with Bluebird Care, Sandra was working as a secretary for a building construction company full-time. Alongside this role Sandra joined the team in 2015 as a part-time carer, working evenings and weekends. Sandra has always wanted to be a nurse, being a carer was the next best thing.
When Covid came, Sandra got made redundant from my full-time job and therefore started working full-time as a carer with Bluebird Care Bromley. She found instant job satisfaction, Sandra says it is an amazing feeling to make such a difference to people lives, enabling them to remain in the comfort of their own homes.
Sandra was promoted to Live-In Care Supervisor in 2022, a large part of the role is supporting the carers while in placement, carrying out regular supervisions to ensure both customer and carers are well. Sandra understands the need for carers to feel supported, she takes great pride in being one of the many people that offer a great support network to our lone workers. ‘I really enjoy that no two days are the same, a busy working life keeps me on my toes. I get to meet some incredible people and I love working for a company that genuinely cares not only for their customers but also their carers. I was and am still a carer so I know some of the challenges and I feel this puts me in a good position to guide and support other carers in the field. While in employment with Bluebird Care Sandra has recently gained her level 3 in Health and Social care, something she is very proud of.
