Welcome to Bluebird Care Careers in Sevenoaks

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.'

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.

Charlotte enrolled to study Midwifery and the University of Bedfordshire in 2011, though she soon realised that this wasn’t the career for her. She still wanted to work in the health care sector, however, which is how she came to join Bluebird Care as a Care Assistant in 2012.

Charlotte joined the office team as a Care Coordinator in 2013, responsible for organising her customers/carers weekly schedules – a fast-paced role which she enjoyed as it kept her on her toes whilst retaining contact with her favourite customers. Juggling her obligations to both her customers and her carers can be challenging at times, but she finds it extremely rewarding knowing that she is key to giving customers the Continuity of Care they expect and deserve. After a brief spell with a local competitor, Charlotte is happy to be part of the Bluebird Care family again.  

Since returning to Bluebird care in Late 2019 Charlotte progressed to Deputy Manager before becoming Registered Manager in December 2022. Charlotte enjoys the new challenges in her role of Care Manager. Charlottes is extremely passionate about delivering high quality homecare to people within the local community and is proud to be part of the Bluebird Care Sevenoaks team.

Zowie has had various administrative roles throughout her working life – ranging from Casework Assistant to Admin Team Leader for a large housing association – however as she reached middle age, she realised she needed to switch to a career that offered more job satisfaction. 

Zowie’ s research led her to Care, and specifically to Bluebird Care Bromley where she was fortunate to be offered a job as a Care Assistant in 2017. Putting a smile on people’s faces for a living was a role which she thoroughly enjoyed!

Being in the office allowed Zowie to see the business from a whole different perspective and to appreciate all the hard work that takes place behind the scenes to ensure the welfare of our customers and staff! 

Zowie then took the opportunity to become a Care Coordinator, which she enjoyed for 2 years.

Zowie was was promoted to Recruitment Manager in 2022, she is thoroughly enjoying this role.  Zowie believes that the various roles that she has held throughout her time at Bluebird Care has given her the tools to make her an effective recruiter.

Zowie is enjoying being part of the office team and feels that her administrative experience coupled with hands on care work puts her in a strong position to excel in all aspects of her role.

Krystal studied Health and Social Care at secondary school as part of her GCSEs. She enjoyed it so much that she then went onto complete a Level 3 Health and Social Care Diploma at West Kent College, she finished college in the summer of 2021.

Part of her course was to carry out work experience within a care home. This is where she decided  she wanted to work within the care industry.

Krystal started her journey with Bluebird Care as an administrator in January of 2022 and progressed to Care Coordinator in July 2023, Krystal says ‘I really enjoy the fast pace and challenges that this role brings.’ Krystal finds her role very rewarding, as much as it is challenging at times, she feels a real sense of job satisfaction knowing that her carers and customers are happy.

Amy started her career with Bluebird Care Sevenoaks in 2017. She was first introduced to Bluebird Care when another local office was caring for her Nan, and this positive image was reinforced when she became acquainted with member of the Sevenoaks team whilst working for a local retailer.

Amy was successful in the application she submitted to join the care team herself shortly after. She’s clocked up several years’ experience since and is now loving getting to grips with all that happens behind the scenes to make the service she used to provide possible.

Amy’s primary role is in providing oversight and support to her former colleagues on the care team, though she also enjoys the interaction with the customers she meets, the feeling of achievement she gets through knowing she’s playing her part in keeping them living independently at home – and of course the big smiles on their faces when she visits!

She has found the team to be incredibly supportive over the years, and is thrilled to have stepped up into an administrative role in the office, as part of which she has completed an NVQ level 3 in Adult Social Care and is now working towards achieveing her Level 5.

She would whole-heartedly recommend Bluebird Care Sevenoaks to anyone already working in the sector or looking for change of career, and describes her decision to join us as “the best thing [she’s] ever done!”
