A local home care team is celebrating after being recognised for their hard work, compassion and dedication in a prestigious national care award.

The team at Bluebird Care Rushcliffe & Melton was named winner of the Team Support Expertise Staff Wellbeing and Development Award at the UK Homecare Association 2026 Awards on 6 March 2026.
The awards recognise excellence across the home care sector, celebrating organisations that demonstrate outstanding commitment to both high-quality care and the wellbeing of their staff.
The award win also comes during a milestone year for Bluebird Care Rushcliffe & Melton, which is celebrating 12 years of caring for the local community.
Reflecting on the award win, Peter Bryan, Registered Manager at Bluebird Care Rushcliffe & Melton, said: “For me, this award is a reminder that when you genuinely invest in people, the quality of care naturally follows. When carers feel supported and valued, they bring their best selves to every visit, and that makes an enormous difference to the people we support.
Care happens in people’s homes often when no one is watching. This award is a recognition of the quiet, compassionate moments our team delivers every day and reflects the incredible dedication, compassion and teamwork of our staff, who go above and beyond every day to support our customers and one another.
A huge thank you to our amazing team, as well as our customers and their families, for their continued trust and support. We couldn’t have achieved this without them.”
The team at Bluebird Care Rushcliffe & Melton supports people across the local area to stay safe and well in the comfort of their own homes, providing compassionate, person-centred care to help customers maintain their independence.
Bluebird Care Rushcliffe & Melton is part of the national Bluebird Care network of more than 200 home care providers across the UK, delivering high-quality care that enables people to remain in the comfort of their own homes.
