Bluebird Care Bury & Bolton

Mobishir Rawthore has a wealth of experience running a business, having previously been a director of Glancy Rawthore Graphics for over 25 years. Looking for a change in direction and wanting to work in an industry where he would be able to make a difference to people’s lives, he decided to take over Bluebird Care Bury & Bolton in May 2016.

Mobi, as he is affectionately known, has a passion to deliver high-quality care into the community, working with his care management team to ensure that the systems and processes are in place to deliver the type of care “which I would want for my family or relatives”. He takes the lead role within the management team to ensure that the team is meeting CQC standards and that staff are fully supported in personal development by certified training.

Mobi ensures that all staff understand the importance of working in the care sector and putting the customer first. It is of the utmost importance to him that we allow the customers to receive homecare and support while remaining in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes. This is so we can enable our customers to keep their independence for as long as possible.

Mobi is married to Cath and has two Daughters, Kate and Ella. In his spare time, he is a keen golfer and represents Cheshire County Seniors. He has always been an avid sportsman, having played badminton for Lancashire County for over 15 years.

Our Registered Manager, Christopher Turner, joined Bluebird Care Bury & Bolton in December 2010 as a care worker and quickly built a reputation for the quality of his care and support, his excellent work ethic, professional manner and, most of all, his popularity with our customers.

Although busy both in the office and at home with his partner and two young children, Chris has been successful in obtaining his CMI Level 7 in Leadership and Management.

Christopher left Bluebird Care Bury & Bolton for a short period of time at the end of 2018. He was offered a position as a regional manager for a nationwide Live-in Care company. It was a fantastic opportunity for Christopher to gain more experience, and he enjoyed his time there; however, when the opportunity arose for Christopher to return to Bluebird Care Bury & Bolton as General Manager, he was excited to come back and take on a new challenge.

Kate Rawthore joined Bluebird Care in July 2017 and has played a pivotal role in the growth, development, and success of the business ever since. As our Business Development & Operations Manager, Kate is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day running of the service while driving strategic growth and ensuring the highest standards of care are consistently delivered across the organisation.

After completing her degree in Education, Kate returned to Manchester with a passion for helping others and making a meaningful difference in people's lives. Throughout her studies, she worked with a wide range of children and young people in various settings, including a specialist school supporting children with special educational needs and disabilities. This experience ignited her passion for care and support, and reinforced her desire to build a career focused on improving the lives of others.

"Seeing the positive impact I could have on the development and well-being of the children I worked with was incredibly rewarding. It made me realise that I wanted a career where I could continue supporting people, building relationships, and making a real difference every day."

Over the years, Kate has become a driving force within the business, combining her compassionate approach with strong operational and leadership skills. She works closely with customers and their families to ensure every individual receives care that is tailored to their needs, preferences, and goals. At the same time, she oversees operational performance, service quality, customer satisfaction, compliance, recruitment, and business development initiatives that help the organisation continue to grow and evolve.

Kate is passionate about building strong relationships with both customers and care professionals, believing that exceptional care starts with a supported, motivated, and valued team. Her commitment to maintaining high standards has helped create a culture centred around quality, professionalism, and person-centred care.

As the daughter of Bluebird Care Director Mobishir Rawthore, Kate has grown alongside the business and shares a deep commitment to its values and vision. Working closely with her father and the wider leadership team, she is dedicated to ensuring Bluebird Care continues to deliver outstanding care experiences while supporting the development of both customers and colleagues.

Kate's leadership, experience, and unwavering dedication make her an integral part of the organisation and a key contributor to the continued success of Bluebird Care.
