Bluebird Care Highgate & Haringey

Terina started working in the care industry in 1999, working as a health care assistant at Southend Hospital. She progressed to mentoring and NVQ assessing other HCA’s in A&E. It was clear that she wanted to continue to pursue a career in health and social care so she took up a registered manager role in a domiciliary care business and has since held operational and regional manager roles. Terina brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the team as our registered care manager, she has a clear passion for supporting people and working in an organisation where she can make a real difference. Terina has many qualifications, including a level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care.

Since joining Bluebird Care, Terina has helped the business achieve an overall rating of Outstanding with our regulator the Care Quality Commission, making us the only provider with this rating in the borough of Haringey. Also in late 2022, Terina won a national award, 'Care Manager of the Year' from over 100 nominations at a ceremony in London. We are very proud of her continued success and achievements.

"I feel that Bluebird really cares about the quality of the care that the customers receive, but also the appreciation for the care staff, which is extremely important to me. My goal is to ensure that every customer receives the highest quality person-centred care possible and is treated with respect and dignity at all times. I really enjoy my job as a registered care manager at Bluebird Care Highgate & Haringey and working with my wonderful colleagues"

Bridget originally trained as a general nurse and gained several years of experience working in acute settings before transferring to the community where she had various roles supporting children, young people, and their families in their own homes.

She had the opportunity to take up a management position in healthcare and this extended to management across adult health and social care. During this time she felt very passionate about making a difference in the lives of people who required care and support. She did everything she could to help them live independent lives and receive the best possible support.

Following a break in her career, Bridget joined Bluebird Care Highgate & Haringey as a care worker and this experience once again enabled her to provide quality care to customers in their own homes. She then had the opportunity to take up the position of care supervisor, a role that she really wanted to do, as it enables her to continue supporting customers but also offering support to care workers.

"Bluebird Care is passionate about the customers they support and the quality of care they deliver. Our entire team value the care staff we employ. My aim is to ensure that our team are well supported and that the care delivered is the best it can be, every single day."

Eka lived in America for 2 years working as a nanny before moving to London. She started her career as an English teacher, mainly teaching at the secondary school level but longed to work in the care industry. She started working as a care assistant visiting people's homes, delivering a very high level of support and care. She has continued her learning and increased her knowledge around domiciliary care and is now an integral part of the office team where she focuses on supporting our entire care team.

"Fortunately I stumbled across Bluebird Care Highgate and Haringey and quickly realised they provide high-quality care to customers in our local community. I have gained a lot of experience and learnt new skills and I am proud that I am Bluebird Care's field care supervisor because I get the opportunity to share my experience, knowledge and skills with other carers whilst supporting them through their careers".

Before joining Bluebird Care in April 2020, Angela worked in sales and also in hospices. It was a challenging start and introduction to home care in April 2020 due to COVID-19 but she thoroughly enjoyed her two years as a care assistant and she excelled in her role. Angela continued her progression and became our care coordinator in July 2022 at our neighbouring Camden & Hampstead office before joining the Highgate and Haringey team as our Care Supervisor in September 2023.
