The company aims to hire 60 new Caregivers throughout Westmeath, Offaly, and Longford to meet growing need for its services.

The Longford open day and walk-in interviews, take place on Tuesday, September 2 at the Temperance Hall, Longford town from 11am to 3pm.

Dovida Caregivers provide essential support to ageing adults and people living with disabilities in their own homes. The organisation’s person-centred approach means that its Caregivers build meaningful connections with their clients and empower them to live fuller, more independent lives.

“National Hiring Week is a great way for us to get out and about in the community to connect with people looking to start a rewarding career in home care,” Lorraine McLaughlin, General Manager of Dovida Midlands, said.

“It provides us with an excellent platform to highlight what makes us an employer of choice in the sector and gives potential recruits the chance to meet local Caregivers and support team members to explore whether a career in care is right for them,” she added.

Dovida Caregivers provide a range of vital services that empower people in their community to remain living as independently as possible in their own homes. Whether assisting an older person who needs some help around the house or supporting someone who has a disability to attend events in the community, Dovida Caregivers are there.

Dovida offers both full and part-time positions as well as flexible hours in the mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekends, allowing Caregivers to fit their work into their lives and balance it with other commitments, such as family life or study. The company also provides comprehensive training and support, as well as opportunities for personal and professional development.

“People who need support from Dovida want to maintain autonomy over their life, to experience belonging, pursue happiness and find purpose. Our Caregivers are key to ensuring that as many people as possible can do just that,” Lorraine concluded.

Dovida welcomes applications from people from all walks of life and is committed to supporting them every step of the way. For more information on life as a Dovida Caregiver and how to apply, please visit dovida.ie/hiring-week
