Hayley Plaster

Registered Care Manager

I started working for Bluebird Care in 2013 as a care worker with no experience. Previous to this I was working in bars and cafés as a bar attender / kitchen assistant. My mother suffered with M.S and had carers visiting most of her adult life, right up until she passed away at a young age of 48, I felt care was a great industry for me to get involved in and wanted to be able to make a difference.

As soon as I started as a care worker, I felt the values of Bluebird Care were very close to my heart. Roughly a year later I had completed my level 2 NVQ in Health and Social Care and was promoted to Care Supervisor. I really enjoyed being support for the team and our service users. I was in this role for around 5 years, after completing my level 3 in Health and Social Care, I was then promoted to Care Coordinator. Coordinating care is not an easy task but I feel the team responded well to me and saw me as a role model within the company.

Since May 2023 I have been Care Manager for both teams (Watford & Three Rivers and Chiltern & Dacorum) – receiving my registration in October 2023. I am currently completing my level 5 in leadership and management. I very much enjoy my role and challenges that come with it. I am always looking for ways to expand my professional development.

In my own time I enjoy reading a good thriller / mystery book and spending time with my family and friends.

Office Manager

I started my career with Bluebird Care in June 2010 as a supervisor, after a short time I then went onto become a Care Co-Ordinator, as the company expanded, I started a new role as Office Administrator and am now Office & Finance Manager.

I love the fact that we are helping people to stay in their own homes with good quality care & Support

Jodie Stanley

Care Coordinator

My grandfather was diagnosed with vascular dementia in 2018, after witnessing his daily struggles and assisting him with his personal care, doctors/hospital appointments and shopping I thought I would try a change in career. I joined bluebird care in 2019 as an inexperienced carer, very quickly into my new role I realised I had found my passion. Caring for those who need it the most. Some days I would be the only person our customers would see, I found great joy in putting a smile on their faces whilst I was visiting. My confidence greatly improved with the amazing support I received from not only my care team but from the office team too. I was then given the opportunity to join our emergency on call team, the responsibility of this position helped my confidence and knowledge grow further. I gained my Level 2 Diploma in Adult social care whilst working in the community and performing my on-call duties. In 2023 I was given the opportunity to cover some maternity leave within the office as Care Supervisor.

Shortly after I was promoted to Care Coordinator for the Chiltern and Dacorum team. I am currently completing my level 3 diploma in adult social care. I have also gained several qualifications surrounding Dementia and recently became a dementia friend.

I enjoy spending time with my family, playing mini golf, board games and watching movies. I love going to the theatre and so far, my favourite production has to be Matilda. I’m also a collector of monopoly’s I currently have 32 different versions and growing including one from the 1940’s. I am also a fully qualified swimming teacher.

Becky Hennessy

Care Supervisor

I started working for Bluebird Care as a care worker in July 2017. Previous to this I worked in a residential home, due to working in different care environments I now know that I prefer homecare due to the care being more person centred and less institutional.

I worked for the Watford & Three Rivers team for 5 years before I was promoted to Care Supervisor for the Chiltern & Dacorum team. I absolutely loved the job right from the start. I feel like I have achieved so much working with Bluebird Care. I enjoy meeting the new customers and being support for the care team and existing customers.

I have completed both levels 2 & 3 of the NVQ in Health and Social Care. I am very happy in my role and loving every minute of it. I have recently come back from maternity leave; I enjoy swimming with my son and spending time with family.

Elaine Kyne

Care Supervisor

I started my career in care 10 years ago when I joined Bluebird Care, before that I worked for a distribution company for 20 + years in HR/Payroll. I decided I wanted a change in career, after speaking to a friend who also works for Bluebird Care I was convinced this was something I needed to pursue.

When I started my career as a Carer it was very apparent very quickly this was absolutely the right choice.  I really embraced my role as Carer and became more confident each day with the lovely customers I would visit and the great team of Carers I worked with.  I gained my Level 2 in Health and Social Care and started to support the office team with admin tasks when needed whilst still working in community as a Carer.  I then had an amazing opportunity to cover some maternity leave in the office as a Care Supervisor, during this time I completed my Level 3 in Health and Social Care which I am so proud of.

I am now a permanent member of the office team in the role as a Care Supervisor for the Dacorum and Chiltern area.  I really enjoy my role as I still have contact with our Customers and all the Carers, as well as starting up new care packages.  My move into Care has been so rewarding and the best decision I made 10 years ago.

In my own time I enjoy spending time with my Husband and family and enjoy holidays and social outings!
