Jennifer Gilmour

Recruitment Consultant for Bluebird Care Ayrshire & Glasgow South

Jennifer joined the care sector during COVID when she was looking for a new challenge. She joined our team as a Care Assistant and received nothing but positive reviews at how amazing she was with our customers.

She has now taken her experience to help us recruit people just like her into the team, ensuring they have a positive recruitment journey. Jennifer predominately looks after Ayrshire and Glasgow South but she does assist with our Edinburgh recruitment.

She loves the variety of people she gets to speak to each day as well as having the opportunity to source the very best people to ensure our customers receive premium home care.

In her free time, you’ll find her with her horses or dogs. When she’s not looking after them, she’s in the gym looking after her own health.

Lindsey Clark

Recruitment Consultant for Bluebird Care Edinburgh

Lindsey joined our team as a Care Assistant after looking for home care for her mum. The way her Care Assistants looked after her mum struck a chord with her and she wanted to be able to help keep people comfortable at home. She loved making a difference in people’s lives.

She then moved into the recruitment team, helping to ensure that we recruited more quality Care Assistants into our team. Whilst in this role, she quickly found that training also excited her.

Lindsey took over our learning and development to ensure all new starters received the Bluebird Care Way training. But not only this, she ensured all our team had refresher training, so everyone was up-to-date and equipped for all situations.

As we’ve changed our Recruitment journey, Lindsey has done a full circle and gone back to her Recruitment position to ensure she can support our teams to hire the very best people. She predominantely looks after our Edinburgh office, but she does assist with Ayrshire & Glasgow South where required.

In her spare time you'll find her spending quality time with her family and walking her dog.
