Bluebird Care Milton Keynes

After graduating from university many years ago with a degree in Law, David joined the Ministry of Defence where he performed many roles including spells in consultancy, policy advice, the press office and as the senior civil servant overseeing Schools for the children of British military schools overseas. In 2011, he led a team to reduce the size of the MOD civil service by 25% and as part of that work managed to devise his own exit, so that he could change career and open Bluebird Care (Milton Keynes). His interest in the care sector started several years earlier when his sister suffered a catastrophic accident which left her quadriplegic. David is married with two grown-up children, five grandchildren and a dog. Hailing from Wales, David enjoys all sports and has had a lifelong love affair with Liverpool Football Club, which has caused him enjoyment and heartache in equal measure.

Catherine grew up in Milton Keynes and lives in Newport Pagnell with her husband and three children. After graduating from the University of Liverpool with a degree in Modern History and Politics, Catherine worked in advertising sales for a London publishing house before travelling the world and then returning to university to study for a PGCE in secondary education.  She joined Bluebird Care in 2019 as an Assistant Director after working as head of the History department in a local secondary school for 10 years. 

Catherine has recently completed a Level 5 Leader in Adult Care Apprenticeship and is now a Director of Bluebird Care Milton Keynes responsible for the day-to-day running of the business. 

Kelly joined Bluebird Care in November 2023 as Deputy Care Manager, predominantly looking after the Northampton territory. She grew up in Cumbria before settling in Northampton in 2000. Kelly attended Northampton College completing a BTEC in Health and Social care and later went on to complete her level 3 NVQ. Kelly was a Quality Assurance Manager and then Deputy Manager for another care provider for nine years, undertaking many different roles and establishing herself in the private care sector.

Kelly took on the challenge of becoming Registered Manager for Bluebird Care Milton Keynes in December 2024 and is looking forward to her future within Bluebird Care. Kelly feels Bluebird is the perfect fit for her due to the shared ethos on person centred care and going the extra mile to make a difference to someone's life.

When not at work, Kelly is busy at home with her long-term partner, their two teenage daughters and two doggies!

Gemma joined Bluebird Care as a care assistant in September 2015, Although it was her first job in care, she quickly grew into the role. After returning from maternity leave in 2017, she volunteered to join the office team and became a part-time coordinator.  She later took on the coordinator role full-time, although she continued to provide care to some of her long-term customers.  

More recently Gemma has taken on the role of Supervisor which has seen her move away from day-to-day rostering, focussing instead on arranging and overseeing care for our customers. She is often the first person customers will meet from Bluebird Care as she carries out the majority of new care assessments.
