Family Carers Ireland will host a recruitment event in Ballyhaunis on Tuesday next, 12th May, offering people locally the chance to learn more about flexible work as a Home Care Worker in their own community.

It will take place at the Community Hall, Friary House, Abbey St, Ballyhaunis from 11am-7pm, and is one of 19 recruitment events being held nationwide this month,  as part of Family Carers Ireland’s campaign to recruit 800 Home Care Workers across Ireland.

Family Carers Ireland is encouraging people who are compassionate, reliable, and interested in rewarding community-based work to attend the event and find out more about the roles available.

The recruitment drive comes amid growing demand for care at home, as more families support loved ones living with disability, frailty, dementia, chronic illness, and other long-term conditions. In Ireland, an estimated 625,000 people provide care to loved ones. For many families, reliable home care can make the difference between managing and crisis.
