Bluebird Care – Support Worker (Care Assistant/Expert) Colchester & Tendring | Care Delivery | £13.90–£17.80 per hour
Welcome to the Team Who Loves to Have Fun
Because we’re the best at what we do, we won Home Care Employer of the Year 2025 at the Great British Care Awards.
Our philosophy? "Always say thank you" and make every day fulfilling. Imagined your role could be full of:
- Going out for walks
- Swimming or trips to the beach
- Daily fun and highs through rewarding care
- Professional growth with paid training and free uniforms
- Competitive awards (monthly prizes) and a pension scheme
Why We Stick Out
We’ll leave you in no doubt we’re here to make care remarkable—with joy woven into every aspect. Some signature moments:
- Holiday cheer: Christmas parties featuring arts & crafts, giggly music, biscuit decorating, dancing, and luxurious hot chocolates.
- Halloween antics: Staff and clients teamed up for pumpkin-carving competitions.
- Community carnival: Costumed as Grease characters, turning Clacton Carnival into a glitter-filled team outing with arts workshops for clients.
- Dementia Friends impact: Over 1,300 Dementia Friends created—through rip-roaring (and sometimes silly) workshops.
- A director doused: With distraught laughter—well, shaving foam—on purpose, of course!
- Fun for all: Our expert carers host weekly drop-in games, socials, and activity nights at local halls—bring anything positive and share it with us.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
