Commenting on her new role, Nicola said:
I originally joined Bluebird Care as a Care Assistant three years ago. My father had recently passed away and during his last months he had regular care visits, so I saw first-hand what a wonderful job they did for him.
I went into care because I wanted to be able to give back the support he had received to other people at their time of need.
My new role is very rewarding and I enjoy being able to help our Care Assistants to learn new skills and continue to improve the care they deliver.
