Bluebird Care (Northampton & Daventry)

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.

In November 2024, the Bluebird Care Northampton office received its own CQC registration, with Kelly as the Registered Manager. 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. In early 2026, Kelly completed her Level 5 CQF in Leadership and Management, Adult Social Care with a distinction.

Kelly continues to develop and undertake further courses, and her specialist subject is Dementia Care, holding a Level 3 qualification. She runs Memory Lane café every Friday, supporting families navigating dementia diagnoses.

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 initially open Bluebird Care in Milton Keynes, later expanding to open an office in Northampton. 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. Read less
