If the answer is yes then we want to hear from you! We would love for you to join our team here at Bluebird Care Tamworth, Lichfield, Nuneaton & North Warwickshire.

We are a local, home care provider covering the Tamworth & North Warwickshire areas as an alternative to residential care homes. As a caregiver you will be delivering exceptional care and support to our customers, anything from companionship, help with general housework through to assistance with personal care and days out.

While many Care providers only pay for your contact time, we believe that you should be paid for every minute that you are being a Bluebird Care Ambassador, even if you are sat in your car. Join our team and your salary will be by the hour and not per contact time.
