More family carers needed for Clare following shortage
FAMILY Carers Ireland has announced plans to recruit 50 Home Care Workers across Limerick, Clare and North Tipperary.
It comes as figures from the HSE show that over 600 people were on the waiting list for home support services in CHO 3 at the end of June.
The national charity representing Ireland’s 500,000 family carers is a HSE-approved home care provider with over 30 years of experience in providing quality respite, emergency respite and home care.
It is seeking candidates with a least 2 QQI healthcare modules and is offering a range of benefits including guaranteed and flexible hours, training, career progression, excellent hourly rates and travel payment.
As a not-for-profit organisation, any profits earned from the delivery of home care goes directly back into supporting family carers.
Brid Horan, National Lead for Home Support Services with Family Carers Ireland, said:
