Bluebird Care creates 50 new jobs this winter to help combat 'loneliness and isolation'

Bluebird Care in Croydon has announced it is creating 50 new job opportunities to employ care workers who can offer the “elderly and vulnerable members” of the community help with “loneliness and isolation” as they spend time alone this winter.

The home care company, based on Brighton Road, employs staff who provide care and support to the elderly, people with physical disabilities and adults with learning difficulties across Croydon.

The company are looking to employ care workers who can offer companionship and a “friendly face” for their customers who otherwise would spend a lot of time on their own.

Dean Slade, director of Bluebird Care Croydon said: “Employing committed and passionate care assistants has been a huge part of our success in recent years. We will only ever be as good as the staff we employ, and our staff are excellent! They are always professional and have real empathy for the people they look after.

“The elderly and vulnerable members of our community are going to need more support than ever before to get through this winter. The current pandemic means that there is not only a decrease in physical health but also mental health. There is an increase in the number of people living with loneliness and isolation.

“As a care provider it is often our care assistants who offer companionship and a friendly face for our customers who otherwise would spend a lot of time on their own.

“Our team help to make a difference to the lives of our customers. We are looking for individuals who want to give something back to their community and support those in need. We offer a rewarding career, many benefits and career progression. Why not give us a call for a friendly chat about what employment opportunities we have for you.”

Bluebird Care Croydon has signed up to pay the Real London Wage along with enhanced Weekend and evening rates of pay.

Bluebird Care specialises in working with customers who live with dementia, physical disabilities and many other acute and chronic conditions. Bluebird Care work alongside their customers’ families, social services and the NHS to ensure each person receives the care they need.
