Jamie’s experience in care began at a young age, inspired by his father, who worked as a therapist supporting autistic individuals. As a child, Jamie often accompanied his dad on holidays with the people he supported, planting early seeds of empathy and understanding that would shape his future career.

Jamie’s professional journey has been varied and rich. He first trained as a chef before transitioning to front-of-house hospitality, eventually becoming Assistant Manager at the Balmer Lawn Hotel. While he thrived in hospitality, Jamie felt a calling to return to the care sector, particularly in autism and mental health services.

He worked in several care homes before being promoted to Team Leader and then Deputy Manager in a residential setting for autistic adults. Recognised for his skills and leadership, Jamie was offered a position on the company’s training team. He soon became Regional Trainer, delivering training across 56 sites along the south coast on a wide range of care-related topics.

Following this, Jamie took a brief step away from care and worked as a delivery driver for Argos, before returning to the sector to support people living with dementia and those receiving care at home. He quickly progressed into a Field Supervisor role and then into coordination, managing care delivery and supporting staff across the service.

Always open to new challenges, Jamie later worked as a bus driver across the New Forest and Dorset. However, after experiencing a health scare, he decided to return to what he truly loved, supporting others. That’s when he joined Bluebird Care.

Jamie brings a wealth of experience, compassion, and a calm, confident presence to his role. His varied background and in-depth knowledge of both frontline care and leadership make him a valuable asset to the team and a trusted point of support for customers and colleagues alike.
