Meet The Team

Ranjot & Baljit Khatra

Directors

Bluebird Care Sutton Coldfield & Birmingham East is owned and led by Ranjot and Baljit Khatra, who bring with them a wealth of knowledge from their healthcare and finance backgrounds.

Having worked with patients of her own for many years as an Optometrist, Ranjot values the importance of care, communication, and professionalism, and strives to ensure that the care provided to Bluebird Care customers is of the highest quality. It is Ranjot and Baljit’s goal to ensure that Bluebird Care is the very best care provider in the local community, as well as being the best employer. 

Ranjot and Baljit’s own experience of caring for their grandparents gave them a great appreciation of the importance of carers in keeping people in their own homes. This inspired the couple to start their venture with Bluebird Care, giving them the opportunity to help others live the dignified life they deserve, and be able to stay in the comfort of their own homes. 

‘We have a strong belief in the selfless service of others and upholding the dignity and respect of the elderly and those in need of care. The values of Bluebird Care as a company fit perfectly with our own personal values, and we are thrilled to be part of the Bluebird Care family to be able to make a positive impact on the local community’

Minnie Khatra

Care Manager

Minnie joined the team recently as the Care Manager, bringing with her a wealth of knowledge from both the Social Care and Nursing sectors. Having started in domiciliary care 17 years ago, Minnie’s determination and passion led to her continuing her studies and obtaining a Master’s Degree in Adult Nursing. This career journey has included working in A&E and in Community Nursing as a Senior Registered Nurse, therefore bringing a trove of knowledge, skills and experience to Bluebird Care.

Minnie says “I always aim high and ensure that the quality of care and service being provided by me and those around me is first class. Furthermore, I use my initiative to ensure the smooth running of the care service which is fundamental to the overall functioning of the organisation.

I have worked in partnership with various different community services such as District Nurses, GPs, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Continence teams and Speech and Language Therapy teams. This experience will help both our team and Customers at Bluebird Care (Sutton Coldfield & Birmingham East), as working in collaboration with our local Health Care professionals will ensure the best outcomes for those we support. It also opens future opportunities to develop the scope of care we provide at Bluebird Care such as complex care, allowing those with additional needs and requirements within the community to still fulfil their wishes of remaining in their own homes.”

Minnie is looking forward to implementing her management and leadership skills to ensure Bluebird Care Sutton Coldfield & Birmingham East continues to deliver the highest standards of care to all customers, both current and future, delivered by our approachable and dedicated team of professional Care Experts and office staff.
