Bloomfield Care Oxfordshire and West Berkshire

Having grown up in Watford living on a working farm, I now live and work in Dorset, and what a lovely county Dorset is. Our young family love the great natural spaces and amazing coastline that is on our doorstep.

My working life started as a part-time trolley collector for a big American Retailer, and 15 years later after a brief spell in Australia, I was running my own store. The experience of retail then took me to the position of Managing Director for an ethical retail chain in Bristol with a focus on Organic and high-welfare products.

The big change came when, with the support of my wife we invested in a Wiltshire Farm Foods franchise, which we managed for a couple of years.

Starting Bloomfield Care with Helen Blunden has been the most rewarding experience of all, learning all that goes into providing exceptional Care. We are very proud of the approach we take, and our understanding of the partnerships between us and our clients.

When I am not working, I fill in as a taxi driver for our very busy children, with the 2 boys fully involved with Wimborne Rugby Club and our little girl wanting to go riding every spare minute.

My name is Helen, I have 4 children and 3 Grandchildren. I have worked in various sectors of the care industry. Throughout my career I have taken on the role of an NVQ Assessor, Deputy manager both in residential settings and within the community as well as a care trainer.

I feel each of my roles has enabled me to develop the skills, knowledge and experience to lead me where I am today, which is passionate and dedicated in delivering a high service to our clients whilst empowering our staff to achieve their own goals and ambitions.

If you speak to those who know me personally and professionally, they will say I am kind, fair, compassionate, and approachable. My motto is everything seems better discussed over coffee and cake!

With over 16 years of experience in the care industry, I’ve had the privilege of working across a variety of sectors—from running a domiciliary care agency to serving as a Registered Manager and business owner. Each role has deepened my passion for delivering high-quality, compassionate care.

I chose to join Bloomfield because of their strong ethos and reputation for putting people at the heart of everything they do. Their commitment to person-centred care, dignity, and respect perfectly aligns with my own values and approach to supporting others.

Outside of work, I live with my husband, with whom I've shared over 20 wonderful years. We love holidaying in the sun, but my true happy place is Cornwall. There, I enjoy paddle boarding, slowing down with a good book, and soaking up the peace and natural beauty the coast has to offer.

My name is Eilish. I have worked in care now for several years in a variety of settings.

I love the work that I do and I am passionate about ensuring people get the care they need and deserve in a person-centred way.

In my spare time, I spend time with my husband, our 2 girls and 2 dogs as well as seeing friends. I do like reading, movies and cake!!

Kim joined Bloomfield Care, bringing with her a wealth of experience in the healthcare industry. Her extensive background and expertise are invaluable in contributing to Bloomfield Care's commitment to providing exceptional care and service to those we serve.

I started my journey in care over 14 years ago when I took a job as a carer, originally thinking it would simply be a part-time role around my husband and children. Very quickly, I realised how rewarding the work was, and it soon became a career I truly love.

Over the years, I have worked in many roles across both domiciliary care and care home settings, including Carer, Senior Carer, Team Leader, Care Coordinator, Deputy Manager, Registered Manager and Trainer. Each role has helped me build a strong understanding of the care sector and the importance of providing compassionate, person-centred support.

I now work as the Client Relations and Business Development Manager, a role that suits me perfectly as I love meeting people, supporting families and helping them find the right care for their loved ones.

Outside of work, I am married and have three children. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, cooking and going on long countryside walks with our dog. I’m very much a people person and love building meaningful relationships, both in my work and personal life.
