Details of Service

Older Person Services are expanding in order to meet the needs of our aging population and offer more rewarding nursing career opportunities than you may be aware of. We are committed to providing progressive high standards of nursing care to clients with a wide range of simple to complex palliative, acute or long term care needs. In addition to our Older Person clients, many of our facilities also provide care to younger people living with chronic conditions. These nurse led services allow extensive opportunities to fully engage in the delivery of holistic quality care, working with many other health care professionals such as GPs, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Speech and Language Therapists, Dieticians, Health Care Assistants and QRPS Teams to ensure the best outcomes for service users and residents.

Older Persons Services actively encourage and support continual professional development as well as extensive access to rewarding career pathways. Nurses with experience qualify to apply for a variety of promotional managerial roles, while those seeking specialist pathways can develop within roles such as Advanced Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Prescriber, Clinical Nurse Specialist roles and more.

Services are based in a vast number of locations all over Ireland. So if you want to work close to or far from home there are a huge number of choices.
