Sammie joined Bluebird Care Aylesbury in 2015, and over the years has built up a wealth of experience in the home care sector. She has worked with customers requiring a wide range of support, across the full spectrum of service user groups, meaning there is very little that she hasn’t experienced.

“I have worked specifically in domiciliary care for over 10 years and have gained a great passion for the industry, and making a difference in people’s lives where I can.

Training & Recruitment Manager: Leah Buckingham

Leah started working in Care in 2002, for a Home Care provider based in Middlesex. Over the six years of working there, she quickly took on more responsibility and progressed until she became the Branch Manager. After that experience and responsibility where she learnt a lot, she took time away from the care industry to have her 2 children and gradually eased her way back into care as a care worker whilst raising her two children.

Having then moved to Buckinghamshire, she started working for Bluebird Care as a Care Supervisor in 2014. Leah then took the role of Training & Recruitment Manager in 2015 where she continues to manage the entire recruitment, onboarding and training processes, a crucially important role for the success and quality of the business.

On top of Leah's year of experience and training she has completed her Level 5 Diploma in Leadership & Management.

Care Coordinator: Charlotte Carpenter

Charlotte began her career within health and social care initially as a health care assistant for a complex care company working with clients who had significant medical and clinical needs. She progressed within her role to a senior carer overseeing the internal management of one specific customer with C2 spinal injuries who required 24-hour care. She really enjoyed the challenge and satisfaction of working within and mentoring a multidisciplinary team to achieve individualised client based outcomes. She then wanted to diversify slightly and find a position that would allow her to understand all aspects of health and social care as well as the respective roles that contribute to a leading care company that provides safe and efficient person centred care and support to its customers. 

Charlotte became our Care coordinator in early 2023 and is exceptional at organising our growing team of carers, building relationships and sharing knowledge with all the customers and care and dealing with any changes and issues that arise.

Care Supervisor: Jade Burton

Jade started working in the care sector as soon as she turned 18. It has always been important to her to be able to do a job that helps others and makes a difference to their lives. In 2020 she studied longer-term care for the elderly and managed to achieve a foundation degree. Jade is always happy to help anyone and feels if she can make at least one person smile in the day, then she has done something good. 

Jade joined Bluebird Care as one of our Care Supervisors in late 2022 after wanting to join a team of like minded and hard working people. She continues to enjoy her journey in care spending her time at Bluebird Care supporting and guiding our team of cares and staying in close contact with our customers to make sure she is sharing her knowledge and promoting their independence.
