Welcome to Bluebird Care Careers in Coleraine

Sue started Bluebird Care Coleraine in 2009 following her experience of home care for a close family member.  Sue was disappointed with the quality and reliability of the service provided and believed that a better standard of home care should be available.

Prior to Bluebird Care, Sue had a successful career working in the health and leisure sector.  From her previous work developing health initiatives, community engagement, and managing teams she was able to bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in starting Bluebird Care Coleraine.

Sue holds extremely high standards and expectations in the delivery of our care at home service.  She believes that the reputation of Bluebird Care Coleraine is attributed to our amazing care assistants delivering our services, and the support of the management team.  Sue believes in nurturing her team at all levels and is always keen to support their development and learning.
