Bluebird Care Newcastle Announces Pay Rise for Care Assistants

We are continuing in offering fair futures for our care assistants therefore we have taken a step by offering a pay rise that reflects their time, efforts, and dedication.

In a move aimed at recognising the invaluable contributions by our care assistants and ensuring their continued dedication, Bluebird Care Newcastle, rated CQC Outstanding, have announced a significant pay rise for our staff and additional paid travel time. As an employer we have always paid fairly, but we want to continue this into the future, the increased wage and travel time is a huge difference for our carers. 

The decision comes amidst growing recognition of the essential role played by care assistants in supporting vulnerable individuals within communities. Effective April 1st, Bluebird Care Newcastle has implemented a substantial pay increase for its care assistants across all levels, with the aim of showing how valued they are within the realm of care. The pay rise is reflective of the company's commitment to valuing its workforce and acknowledging the demanding nature of their roles.

The pay rise is expected to positively impact the morale and job satisfaction of Bluebird Care's care assistants, providing them with greater financial stability and recognition for their vital contributions to the community.

Taking a Stand

The decision to increase pay for care assistants aligns with ongoing efforts within the social care sector to address issues related to recruitment and retention, as well as to recognise the invaluable role played by frontline workers in delivering essential services to vulnerable individuals.

As Bluebird Care Newcastle reaffirms its commitment to providing exceptional care services, the pay rise for its care assistants serves as a testament to the company's dedication to fostering a supportive and rewarding work environment.
