Senior Accommodation/ Housekeeping Assistant
Commencing: May 2026
In Summer 2026, we're opening Omos - a 16-bedroom guesthouse and 40-seat restaurant set on 4.2 acres just outside the heritage town of Abbeyleix, County Laois.
Omos is about creating something lasting and meaningful - something with soul. A guesthouse and restaurant that feel rooted in their surroundings, reflect the neighbourhood and community, and warmly welcome curiosity and discovery.
The name Omos - meaning homage, duty, and respect, reflects our intention behind the project: to create something lasting and meaningful, something with soul. A guesthouse and restaurant that feel like they belong - that reflect our neighbourhood and community, and that generously welcome curiosity, craft, and discovery.
