Jonathan’s family have worked in the social care sector for nearly 40 years. Prior to Bluebird Care, Jonathan spent most of his career in account management servicing large multinationals within the IT and Telecoms sector. Vanessa is a trained therapist with 15 years of experience in providing health and beauty treatments and managing key accounts. Together they share a passion for quality and for ‘getting things right’ for their customers. Their winning formula has been to care for their customers by caring for their team. Recruiting and retaining the very best people, who possess the gifts of kindness, compassion and selflessness, has been the bedrock of their service.

"It gives us great satisfaction not only to be able to provide care but also offer career opportunities to local people who are equally passionate about helping others in the community."

Originally from Harare, Zimbabwe (formerly known as Salisbury), Tendai moved to England with her husband in March 2023 to begin her journey with Bluebird Care Wiltshire South.
With four years of experience in the care sector, Tendai has always seen caring as her calling. She first worked as a carer in Zimbabwe, and when she learned about opportunities in the UK, she was inspired to take a leap of faith. A simple Google search for "small towns in England that are great for families" led her to Salisbury - a sign that this was the place she was meant to be.
Since joining Bluebird Care, Tendai has been a valuable member of the team, known for her bubbly personality, dedication, and passion for supporting customers. Her commitment to making a real difference in people’s lives has made her a firm favourite among both customers and colleagues.
Tendai has been promoted to our new Care Supervisor and is excited to take on new challenges, develop her skills, and continue delivering the highest standard of care.
Outside of work, Tendai enjoys reading—especially books that have been adapted into films or series—and exploring the beautiful English countryside on long walks.

Fundamentally as a peoples person, Deborah works on the basis that you should always treat others the way you would like to be treated yourself - a fantastic quality to have when delivering care to others.

Since joining Bluebird Care Wiltshire South, Deborah has worked her way up from being a care professional, to a team lead, and now to a care coordinator. She finds some days more challenging than others but is extremely proud and passionate about Bluebird Care Wiltshire South, and the high standard of care we deliver.
