Bluebird Care Lewes

Terri originally started with Bluebird Care (Lewes District) in July 2011 where she was the Company’s first and only carer. When the Company was in its infancy she helped with a variety of duties to help get the business off the ground. Terri then left to start her own business and soon discovered that she missed her love for care.

She returned to the sector where she gained experience in hospital and nursing home settings. During the pandemic, Terri worked in a nursing home and was responsible for keeping residents safe. Terri has been a manual handling trainer and has a considerable amount of nurse training. She holds a Level 3 Diploma in Health & Social Care and will be working towards Level 5. Terri is honoured to be working with Bluebird Care once again, now as Care Manager, and is looking forward to assisting the company to new heights.

Karen joined us in 2019 as a Training Officer and has now moved into the position of Operations Manager responsible for both offices in Hove and Newhaven. She is still responsible for training all new care assistants and for the ongoing continued professional development of the wider existing teams and carers.

Due to her astounding skills base and ability to problem solve she has taken on the whole of Operations Manager for the two businesses. This includes supporting the Registered Care Managers with compliance as well as using her knowledge as a registered nurse to guide the business, and new and experienced employees to fulfil potential.

Karen considers;

The investment made in training our staff to a high standard is a testament to the level of care that’s provided ensuring all staff are prepared for the individual needs of our customers.
