Recruitment drive on for Family Carers Ireland in the coming week

There’s a big recruitment drive on for Family Carers Ireland in Tipperary next Wednesday.

The event at the Horse and Jockey Hotel will give locals a chance to learn more about flexible, meaningful work as a Home Care Worker in their own community.

It’s on from 10am to 5pm as part of a national campaign to hire 800 new people.

Family Carers Ireland says there’s growing demand for care at home, as more families support loved ones living with disability, frailty, dementia, chronic illness, and other long-term conditions.

It’s estimated that over 600,000 people provide care to loved ones across the country and for many families reliable home care can be the difference between managing and crisis.
