Bluebird Care, the home care provider with an office on Brighton Road, is to recruit another 50 care assistants in 2022, in part, at least, to meet the additional demand for the company’s services created by the covid-19 pandemic.
Bluebird Care staff provide care and support to the elderly, people with physical disabilities and adults with learning difficulties across Croydon.
“Employing committed and passionate care assistants has been a huge part of our success in recent years,” said company director Dean Slade.
“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.”
