Meet the team

Virginia Zahr

Quality Director

My career in Health & Social Care began in 2014, as a Support Worker, working across residential care settings supporting people with learning disabilities, autism, and the senior care. In 2019 I started my journey with Bluebird Care as a Trainee Care Coordinator. I felt welcomed and was supported in various tasks in order to complete my job role and get to know the business. Over the years I experienced customer appreciation, employees progressing and the business growing. I have continually learned various aspects of the business and have enjoyed supporting our customers and care team in the community. Whilst at Bluebird Care, I have completed my NVQ Level 3 in Business Administration and have now recently had the opportunity to become the Office Coordinator which I happily embraced, and I am looking forward to my future with Bluebird Care.

Amreet Dhillon

Customer Care Manager

I started working for Bluebird Care Bedford as a care assistant in 2014 after hearing that the training Bluebird Care provides is one of a kind. I had already gained experience within the Care sector and knew I wanted to broaden my experience further. After returning from Maternity Leave, I decided I wanted to move forward with my career and was given the opportunity to become a Supervisor.  

I was then promoted to Deputy Care Manager in June 2020. I enjoy my role as not every day is the same. I have been given the opportunity to learn different skills which enables me to support other members of my team and in turn help them to develop their skills. 

In September 2022, I became the Customer Care Manager for Bedford. My role is very similar to my previous role, but I am now able to focus specifically on our customers and the quality of the care and support services we provide. I am really excited for the future of this company and growing my career with it.

In my spare time I enjoy cooking and eating out with my family and friends. When I get time, I like to do puzzles or colouring which helps me to relax. Although most of my time is spent running around after my son.
