Home Instead Hiring Week events in Offaly

Home Instead, Ireland’s largest private provider of home care services has launched Home Instead Hiring Week, a national campaign of events taking place over the week of February 20th-24th, that aims to hire 1,000 professional care givers to join its nearly 4,000-strong team.

Home is the preferred option for the majority of older people as they age, and the preferred option for their families. Home provides comfort, independence and familiarity, leading to better healthcare outcomes that ultimately positively impact on the quality of life of the person being cared for.

Professionally trained care givers give valuable support to ageing adults and play a critical role in the healthcare system by assisting them to live safe and well at home.

Lorraine McLaughlin, General Manager, Home Instead Offaly said: “The professional care giver role is ideal for caring and compassionate individuals who are seeking job stability with a flexible schedule and a supportive environment as well as continued opportunities for career progression.”

“We like to say that it takes a special person to become a Professional Home Instead care giver and a desire to share their talents and skills with those they care for.

"It is a rewarding career for individuals from every walk of life and age group. Our teams are looking forward to meeting those interested in a meaningful career in home care at our events during Home Instead Hiring Week. We are a great company to work for with a culture steeped in values. We would not be where we are today without our exceptional employees.”

All Home Instead care givers are provided training through Home Instead’s unique Home Care Professionals Academy with access to state-of-the-art content and practical training. care givers receive recognition through award programmes, appreciation initiatives and social events.

Thanks to this culture of support, care givers feel a deep sense of belonging that they are part of a professional, compassionate and winning team that makes a difference in the lives of ageing adults every day.
