Bluebird Care NEW Devon is proud to announce the renewal of its Mindful Employer Charter, reinforcing its dedication to supporting the mental well-being of its employees. As a leading provider of high-quality home care services, Bluebird Care understands that caring for its workforce is just as important as caring for its customers.
What is the Mindful Employer Charter?

✔ Promote a culture of openness – Encourage honest conversations about mental health.
✔ Provide access to support – Ensure employees know where to turn for help when needed.
✔ Encourage work-life balance – Recognizing the importance of rest and self-care.
✔ Support managers – Equipping team leaders with the tools to assist staff effectively.
