Care in the Community. Consistent Hours. Real Respect.
Looking for a role where you can truly make a difference - and still have time and energy for yourself?
We're hiring Healthcare Assistants in Gorey and nearby areas to support older people in their homes with practical care and meaningful connection. You'll work set hours with the same clients each week - giving you the consistency, stability, and support you need to thrive.

You'll deliver one-to-one care in the client's own home, including:
* Personal care (washing, toileting, dressing)
* Light meal preparation and basic household tasks
* Friendly conversation and emotional support
* Helping with mobility and routine activities
You won't be left to figure things out on your own - we provide full training and day-to-day support from a responsive local team.
Hours That Work Around You
We offer flexible schedules, along with part-time and full-time options.
The core hours we're looking to cover include:
* Morning shifts: 8am-12 noon
* Evening shifts: 4pm-8pm
* Every second weekend
You'll agree your shift pattern when you join - and stick with it week to week.

Not Qualified Yet?

Do You Fit This Role?
We're looking for people who are:
* Compassionate and respectful
* Dependable and professional
* Comfortable working independently in clients' homes, with the reassurance of team support when needed
You'll Need:
