Bluebird Care Shropshire Launches New Year Recruitment Drive

We have kickstarted the New Year by announcing a brand-new recruitment drive for up to 60 part-time and full-time Care Assistant roles across Shrewsbury, Oswestry and Church Stretton.

Despite the challenges created by the pandemic, we have continued to deliver exceptional care and support to customers throughout the region. As a result of this incredible feat, we have experienced an increasing demand for our home care award-winning services.

As we enter 2022, we have announced a number of new job opportunities for local people as we seek to deliver vital care and support to more people within the Shropshire community.

With full in-house induction training provided, we are encouraging everybody, whatever their experience, to take the step in 2022 and join our team. Bluebird Care Shropshire has numerous Care Assistants who have joined us from all walks of life and only has one requirement: people with kind hearts, dedication, and a desire to make a difference in the lives of others. 

To celebrate these new opportunities, from 1^st February every new starter at Bluebird Care Shropshire will receive a payment based on their weekly hours of up to £600, whilst existing team members will be given up to £200 as a big thank you for their efforts.

Alongside this, Bluebird Care Shropshire also offers excellent hourly rates, which have recently increased for those over 23 years old by 20% and now pay £11 an hour on weekdays and £12 an hour at weekends, pension contributions, and ultimately great career progression opportunities in a positive and purpose-driven sector. This wage is significantly higher than the government minimum for over 23s, which currently stands at £8.91 per hour. Bluebird Care Shropshire has also been accredited as a Living Wage Employer as a testament to its commitment to offer competitive wages.
