Dovida announce home care jobs for Midlands as part of expansion plans

Home care provider Dovida has announced plans to hire 140 caregivers across the Midlands.

The organisation, which has been providing care to ageing adults in Ireland since 2005, recently rebranded from Home Instead and now intends to increase capacity in the sector and expand its service offerings in Offaly and the wider Midlands region.

The roles will be a combination of full and part-time positions, offering competitive rates of pay, flexible schedules, and comprehensive, sector-leading training through the Home Care Professionals Academy.

Speaking at the launch of Dovida's Midlands hub in Mullingar on Saturday, Lorraine McLaughlin, General Manager of Dovida Midlands, said, “we are excited about welcoming more caregivers to our team. They will help us meet the growing need for home care services in the Midlands and make it possible for more people to receive the support they need to live comfortably and independently at home.

“Caregivers joining our team can expect comprehensive training, a dedicated local team and supportive environment as well as opportunities to grow professionally and develop a rewarding career in home care.

“We believe in quality home care that empowers people to live with dignity, independence, and comfort in familiar surroundings,” Lorraine McLaughlin continued.

“That means keeping them in their own home, connected to their family, friends and communities for as long as possible. Social interaction and companionship are crucial for maintaining good mental health and supporting those experiencing cognitive decline, particularly older people.

“As an organisation with deep roots in the community, we understand the value of connection and it's fantastic to be in a position to grow our team so we can support more and more people throughout the region,” Lorraine concluded.
