A HOME care firm in Swindon is hosting a recruitment event to give people the chance to find out more about the profession.

Bluebird Care Swindon will set up shop inside Coleview Community Centre on Towcester Road for two hours on February 11 to offer job opportunities and care advice.

Care manager Katrina Simms said: "Employing committed and passionate care staff has been a huge part of our success. 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.

“We’re now taking our recruitment opportunities out into the community and are keen to talk to charities and services which support people to find or return to work.

"Come along to our recruitment event at 10am and meet some of our wonderful carers. There will be an opportunity to ask questions about the positions we need to fill and the many benefits that Bluebird Care can offer anyone considering care as their career”.

There will be short presentations – including a talk from current carers about why they love their work - and the opportunity to meet care staff and collect information about working for the care sector, and the benefits provided.

Bluebird Care staff provides care and support to a range of people in Swindon, Wroughton and north Wiltshire which enables them to remain living independently at home.

Managing director Ben Curtis said: "The company has a positive reputation across the country for providing excellent customer service and quality personal home care which ensures that the people we work with feel empowered about services they receive.

“We support customers who suffer from dementia, physical and learning disabilities, and work alongside their families, social services, GPs and clinical commissioning groups to ensure each person receives the care they need. We are looking to expand our team of dedicated carers and are keen to meet people who are considering care as their career of choice.”
