50 home care jobs announced for Waterford
Following on from its official launch in Waterford, Ireland’s leading home care provider, Dovida, recently announced plans to hire up to 50 caregivers in Waterford.
The organisation, which has been providing care to ageing adults in Ireland since 2005, recently rebranded from Home Instead and now intends to increase capacity in the sector and expand its service offerings across the county. The roles will be a combination of full and part-time positions.
Speaking at the announcement, Steven Tubbritt, General Manager of Dovida Waterford, said, “We are excited about welcoming more caregivers to our team. They will help us meet the growing need for home care services in Waterford and make it possible for more people to receive the support they need to live comfortably and independently at home.
“Caregivers joining our team can expect comprehensive training, a dedicated local team, and a supportive environment as well as opportunities to grow professionally and develop a rewarding career in home care,” he added.
Dovida currently provides person-centred home care services to 8,000 people across Ireland. Historically, the majority of the organisation’s client base consisted of people in the over-65 age group. However, Dovida now cares for clients of all ages, with 10 per cent under 65, while children under 18 make up one per cent of people cared for.
Dovida’s services have adapted to the varied needs of its clients, and the company now provides services to support people living with an acquired brain injury, Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Motor Neurone Disease, as well as helping children and young adults with additional needs.
