Description
Bluebird Care is reported to be creating 100 new jobs. The national company specialises in providing care for people, in their own homes, suffering conditions such as dementia or physical mobility problems. The new jobs will be based across the Basingstoke, Hart and Deane areas of Hampshire. The company is looking to recruit 100 new care assistants throughout 2017 to add to their provision of tailored care. Visits to patients may be of around 30 minutes duration, but some care plans require the care assistant to live in.
