Bluebird Care is leading the way with Good Care!

Bluebird Care Highgate & Haringey is supporting Good Care Month this January.

Bluebird Care Highgate & Haringey is supporting Good Care Month this January. The campaign aims to increase the awareness of the social and home care sector, challenge the stigma surrounding care work and celebrate the hard work and dedication that social home care workers embrace daily.

George Morris, Director of Bluebird Care Highgate & Haringey, commented: “Our dedicated care assistants work tirelessly to make a difference to our customer’s lives. Without them, we wouldn’t be who we are today!”  

Bluebird Care, the UK’s largest home care provider with over 200 franchises, has won many prestigious awards over the past few years, including the UK Over 50 Housing Award for ‘Most Outstanding Home Care Provider in 2019’.

Last month, in December 2020, Bluebird Care care assistant, Nassrat Bi was crowned the winner of the Dame Barbara Windsor Award at ITV Good Morning Britain’s (GMB) 1 Million Minutes Awards. Barbara Windsor’s husband Scott Mitchell, who was a judge on the awards panel, praised Nassrat for caring for his late wife.

Scott Mitchell said: “It’s incredible and I don’t think there are great enough words for you. I know what it takes to sit next to someone at end of life and just have a comforting reassuring word coming from the carers. Just to watch your loved one, be comforted, be cared for and the relief that that gives you.”

Good Care Month also encourages people to choose a career in home care.

George added: “In current times when there is a shortage of jobs, there is an increased need for more care assistants due to the aging and vulnerable population and the pandemic. A career in Bluebird Care has many benefits and career progression. We hope that this campaign will help raise awareness in our community of the demand for care assistants.”
