Meet our local Watford & Three Rivers team

Dawn Forey - Care Manager 

I began my career with Bluebird Care in June 2010 as a Care Supervisor. Shortly after, I advanced to the role of Care Coordinator, where I focused on scheduling and overseeing the care provided to our clients. As the company grew, I embraced the position of Office & Finance Manager, allowing me to expand my skills in administration and financial oversight.

My journey at Bluebird Care continued to evolve, and with the extensive knowledge and experience I had gained, I have now progressed to the role of Care Manager. In this capacity, I am dedicated to ensuring that our clients receive the highest quality care and support, enabling them to remain in their own homes comfortably and safely.

I am passionate about the positive impact we have on people's lives, providing them with compassionate, personalised care that fosters independence and well-being.

Andrea Forshaw - Training and Recruitment Administrator 

I have worked at Bluebird Care since June 2022.

I originally come from a banking and finance background and before starting my family in 1997 worked in the Training and Skills sector of a government organisation. When my children were small, I retrained and qualified as a Nursery Nurse, Cert. EYP (open) and worked in a private nursery and then in a local Primary School for over 17 years. I delivered teaching to whole classes, groups and individuals with specific learning needs across key stage 1. I also attended to the pupil’s health needs and have worked with Individuals, their families and health professionals to deliver care to individuals who needed support with Diabetes, Autism, Stoma Care and Cancer treatments to name a few.

I have transferred these skills and my knowledge here at Bluebird Care to recruit the wonderful carers that we have on our team today. I am approachable and understanding and love meeting new people.

I was made to feel welcomed and supported from my first day at Bluebird Care and now I enjoy working with the care team to help and support our new and existing carers throughout their career journey with us.

I love going out socially with friends and feel family time is really important. I love being part of a team that helps bring benefits and care to our local communities.

Tania Orbell - Care Coordinator

I started working at Bluebird Care in September 2019 as the Care Coordinator.

I previously worked in a local primary school for over 10 years as a teaching assistant but once my own children left school, I decided it was a good time to change career and felt the care industry was the best move as this is something I have been interested in for many years. I enjoy meeting new people and like to help and support others.

My job role is varied at Bluebird Care and I have transferred my skills into this fulfilling role, I have a good telephone manor, am kind and considerate and a great problem solver. I have great organisational, and prioritisation skills and work well under pressure.

Bluebird Care is a great company to work for as they really do look after our customer’s every whim and our carers too. Everyone who works for the company have the customer’s best interests at heart and I am very proud to be a part of such a positive team.

I am a good communicator, have a good understanding of people’s needs, I am a good listener and have a ‘can do ‘attitude. I am very tech savvy and enjoy working with computer software and love a spreadsheet or 2.

My role working with a group of likeminded people gives me real job satisfaction.

In my spare time I love being with family and friends, reading mystery stories and going for long walks with the dogs.

Susan Jones - Care Supervisor

I have worked in health and social care for many years, having 20 years of management experience in residential homes for the elderly and young adults with learning disabilities. I love to help people and get great job satisfaction in doing so

I am compassionate and self-assured and have the knowledge and ability to model good practice, having NVQ 5 in health and social care and a teaching qualification gives me a wealth of knowledge and experience to enjoy working for Bluebird Care, which is a bespoke care company.

I really love my role of supervisor; we are the link between the customer and our Bluebird Care service

I have excellent communication and people skills, which builds trusting relationships with customers, their families, staff and other professionals such as district nurses, GPs and occupational therapists.

I am compassionate, self-assured and have a genuine caring nature.

Working for the Bluebird Care brand suits me and I am proud to be part of a strong supportive team, championing the rights of our customers.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, I enjoy Bell Ringing and supporting my local church in various volunteering roles and travelling
