Meet the team

Vicki has only recently joined Bluebird care in June 2023. She has always worked in Administration and has enjoyed the variety these roles have given her.

She does not come from a care background, but secured a role as a  recruitment administrator with a care company 2 years ago. She then came to realize how rewarding employing the right carer for the customers is. So, she took the plunge and applied as a recruiter with Bluebird Care.

She loves how the carers she interviews are dedicated, caring and compassionate about providing the best care for our customers and how rewarding hiring the right candidate for our customer’s needs.

Shan joined Bluebird Care Bromley in April 2022 as a care administrator, she was looking for a fulfilling job which was also flexible to fit in between the school runs.

Bluebird Care has provided that and much more. Shan has now worked her way into recruitment and is responsible for ensuring an efficient and compliant back-office, as well as supporting the Recruitment Manager and the rest of the office team.

Shan is very grateful for the opportunities Bluebird Care has given and very much enjoys being part of such a lovely and supportive team. She would highly recommend Bluebird care Bromley to anyone who is looking for a career in the care.

Julien began his career in the training sector, he was a childcare assessor for 12 years and wanted to continue to work in a role where he helped people and made a difference. He heard that Bluebird Care provided quality care for their customers and wanted to be part of that.

Julien initially started working for Bluebird Care in a Maternity Cover Recruitment role, this involved recruiting staff for the Sevenoaks and Lewisham offices. When this ended a fantastic opportunity came up where he could meet our customers and find out their history and their preferences. He really enjoy this role, it was so lovely to meet our customers and find out their life histories.

Recently, Julien has been appointed as the Training Coordinator, He delivers our Skills Assessment and Refresher training to all staff in Bromley, Sevenoaks and Lewisham.

Julien says 'I enjoy seeing new people, training them about the care industry and what the role of a care worker involves. Our focus throughout training is delivering person centred care in a safe manner, respecting privacy, dignity and independence. Bluebird Care is a quality care provider. It has an individual approach to its customers and carers, and you feel that you are part of something special. It really feels like a family environment, where everyone is welcomed, valued, respected and cared for.'

Leah is an ex-Registered Nurse and was our Coordinator and Deputy Manager at our sister branches in Sevenoaks from 2011-2018, and Registered Manager in Bromley from 2020-2022. 

Leah is a natural leader who is well-liked and who enjoys universal respect right across our organisation, so was the natural choice when we decided to appoint an Operations Manager in mid-2022, tasked with overseeing the Care operations of our 3 businesses (Bromley, Sevenoaks, Lewisham & Southwark), ensuring alignment of process and adherence to policies in order to deliver an outstanding level of Care.

Leah loves the “family feel” of the business, the camaraderie amongst her teams, and the satisfaction that comes with knowing that their collective efforts make a real difference to people’s lives. She relishes the responsibility, challenges and learning opportunties that come with being the manager of the Registered Managers of 3 regulated services!

She’s a strong advocate of continued professional development and describes the training regime in place as “the best I’ve experienced throughout my career”, and feels that the continuity and retention rate within the current team speaks for itself.

She would highly recommend Bluebird Care Lewisham & Southwark to anyone looking for a Home Care service or thinking of a career in Care!

Becky's career in the Care sector began in 2007 as a Support Worker working with adults with challenges around their mental health, including dementia.

With this experience Becky joined Bluebird Care Sevenoaks as a Care Assistant shortly after the office opened in 2012. Within a year, Becky's excellent work with customers earned her progression to Supervisor level, a role she enjoyed immensely. With a change in management in 2018, Becky was promoted to Deputy Manager and became Registered Care Manager herself less than a year later. 

 After having a child and getting married Becky has taken on the role of Marketing Manager. She believes passionately in the Bluebird Care ethos. She has really enjoyed the variety of her roles as well as the occasional challenges and looks forward to a new role within Bluebird Care.

Becky continues to take great pride in being part of a team that not only provides a first-class service enabling vulnerable adults to remain living independently in their own homes, but who also offers fantastic career opportunities to anyone wanting to join the Bluebird Care team.

Olga was educated in England and South Africa and is currently working to complete her qualification as a CIMA Management Accountant. She is the in-house accountant responsible for the three franchised agencies owned by BenJeMax Limited, the Lewisham and Southwark office holding company, which include the agencies in Bromley and Sevenoaks. Olga has been with the company since May 2014, and this is her first foray into the Care sector.
 
Having worked in many areas such as Architecture, Security, Interior Design and the Oil and Gas industry, Olga decided it was time to get out of the "Central London rat race" and seek a position closer to home with an easier commute.
 
She finds Bluebird Care a breath of fresh air! She enjoys working with her Care Sector colleagues and really values her contact with the agencies' wonderful customers with whom she has developed great relationships - even though they only speak to her to pay or query their bills! Olga feels that customers all seem to appreciate the hard work that everyone puts in, and in doing so, she gets a real sense of accomplishment.
