Meet the Epsom & Kingston Bluebird Care team

My name is Eleesha Thomas and I joined Bluebird Care in March 2020. I am the Care Manager for Epsom, Sutton and Kingston and have been working in care since 2009. I have a wide range of experience working with children, adults, nurses, and running a clinically lead team. I am passionate about supporting individuals to be able to stay in the comfort of their own home for as long as they wish to do so whatever their circumstances may be.

I am Ellie and I’m from Preston in Lancashire and moved to Sutton last year. Before moving to the South of England I was studying my Level 5 in Health and Social care at UCLan. I have worked in care for four years now at a care company in Preston, mainly caring for end-of-life clients. This is my first experience working within a care office environment. Whilst I’ve worked alongside the office-based teams, my experience has mainly been as a student and practitioner. I joined Bluebird Care in September 2021 as a CSS before being promoted to my current position in 2022.

Before joining the Epsom-based office team I worked as a care assistant for eight months. I love that my role involves problem-solving as well as building relationships with customers and carers.

I joined Bluebird Care because I like that it is an established and highly reputable organisation. I also appreciate the effective software and systems in place which creates for an enjoyable environment. 

I am a scheduler for Epsom, Sutton and Kingston.

My role is Care Service Specialist at the Epsom and Kingston branch.

I was new to the industry when I joined Bluebird Care in October 2018 (although I had gained some experience supporting family with the care of my disabled niece). I started my career with the company as care assistant at the Sutton branch, where after a year I became a Mentor.

I enjoy being able to support and make a difference to the individuals we care for. I love the variety of individuals we support. I feel I have a happy balance of supporting customers and care workers. I am also able to support with doing the rotas. My work is my passion, so I really care about the customers and care workers, to ensure they are all supported in best possible way.

I joined Bluebird Care in November 2021. Before working at Bluebird Care I worked for Huntress Recruitment recruiting a wide variety of roles, Trinity Homecare recruiting carers and a chain of nurseries recruiting childcare practitioners. I love seeing candidates through the whole recruitment journey and watching them become excellent carers. The team here are so supportive, it’s a really lovely place to work!
