Why work with Local Homecare?

We care for our employees as much as our clients. Caregivers enjoy appreciation events, prizes, and ongoing education and training opportunities.

What kind of shifts are there?

We’re growing all the time and offer a wide variety of shifts — long and short shifts, days, nights, transport shifts and live-in placements. We operate 24/7, so we can work around your schedule.

Where could I work?

We work across Kerry, North Cork and Dublin — including Tralee, Killarney, Mallow, Dublin 15 and throughout West Kerry: Dingle, Ballydavid, Feohanagh, Murreagh, Ballyferriter, Dunquin, Castlegregory, the Maharees, Cloghane, Brandon, Annascaul, Inch, Camp, Ventry, Lispole and Minard.

Will I be an employee?

Yes. You’ll be a Local Homecare employee, so tax is deducted automatically through payroll. We’re fully insured and here to support you at every step.

Do I need experience or qualifications?

Relevant QQI healthcare qualifications and caring experience are a plus, and we provide induction and continuous training. Garda vetting is required before you start.
