Marking Carers Week 2021

Celebrating an exceptional member of our team, Sarah Johnson.

Carers Week is a yearly campaign that seeks to recognise the contribution Carers make to families and communities throughout the UK. This year, with the focus of the week around ‘Making caring visible and valued’, one special team member at the home care provider is being recognised for their fantastic work over the years.

Sarah Johnson joined Bluebird Care Norwich & North Norfolk over ten and a half years ago and was one of the first five care team members at the Bluebird Care office.

Previously working in the hospitality industry, and as a Dental Nurse, Sarah spotted the opportunity to utilise her skillset in the care sector. Motivated by a desire to help others, and making a difference in what she does, Sarah went on to become a Care Assistant at Bluebird Care Norwich & North Norfolk.

Now, over ten years in, she is the home provider’s Lead Supervisor and is a highly valued team member by both her colleagues and customers.

Reflecting on her time working at Bluebird Care, Sarah Johnson said:

“I have had many happy experiences over my ten years with Bluebird Care. I’ve formed lasting friendships and great memories, including a hot coal walk with my colleagues to raise money for our local charities! 

“I love each day. Often, it’s the little things that make a difference, such as knowing how someone likes their hair styled or that they enjoy a certain genre of music. It’s these things that put a smile on the face of our customers.

“I enjoy working in domiciliary care, knowing I am helping individuals to remain safe living in their own homes and promoting their independence as much as possible. Being caring, compassionate and reliable is a must and are all attributes that will be beneficial in any role within the care sector.”

Speaking of Sarah Johnson, Carole Gent, Director of Bluebird Care Norwich & North Norfolk said:

“Sarah has demonstrated unfaltering commitment and dedication to her profession, and to her career with Bluebird Care Norwich & North Norfolk over the past ten years. Sarah proudly upholds all of our brand values; she is kind, caring, professional, supportive, respectful and most definitely, lots of fun!”
