Having spent my earlier working years in the care sector starting out working with adults with learning difficulties supporting them to live as independently as possible and to be part of their community and volunteering with a local play scheme that ran during the holidays to support children with learning disabilities, I found that I had a passion for people and for helping them to get the most out of life.
I moved into a more corporate world for a lot of my working years in my mid 20’s working in various managerial roles looking for a new career and new challenges, though these gave me some brilliant life and learning skills I found it hard to settle and found I was not driven by profits and the goals of large corporations to endlessly make money. I took a step back, re analysed what made me happy and realised that it was working within the care sector. Pre pandemic I decided to join domiciliary care, working within my local community as a carer, I felt like its where I belonged again and loved every day even the hard ones because its where I felt I made a difference to real people, this was cemented during the pandemic where it became clear care was a vital lifeline for many people who were isolated alone at home.
With a passion for delivering quality and real person-centred care I progressed into a coordinators role and enjoyed the challenges that came with working at a senior level where I was able to drive and be involved with ensuring high standards and morals were at the forefront of care. I have spent time working specifically with end-of-life care over the last year to better understand and broaden my own knowledge and understanding of the wider needs of people relying on care. Now I am excited to have joined Bluebird Care as a customer supervisor as it has an excellent reputation within the community and a real person-centred ethic that puts care and people’s welfare at the forefront which matches my ethic exactly.
