New Residential Service - Support Workers Required

• A new residential service for 1-2 people is opening soon, and we're hiring the founding team now. You'll help us find out what's important to the person you're supporting (their choices, relationships, what a good day looks like for them) and what's important for them (their health, safety, and support needs),and build the home's routines around that from the very first day.

• The service is regulated under HIQA or TUSLA depending on who moves in. With 1-2 people in the home, you'll have the time to really listen, notice what's working well and keep adjusting support to fit. That's the kind of job this is.

What the role looks like day to day:

• Getting to know the person you support - their preferences, routines and what matters most to them

• Supporting daily life - meals, personal care, recreation, community activities

• Building a steady, trusted relationship through consistency and genuine presence

• Noticing what's working well and what isn't, and feeding that back so support keeps improving

• Keeping clear, accurate notes and incident records

• Taking part in team handovers, reflective practice and regular supervision

What you'll need:

• QQI Level 5 Major Award (minimum) - Social Care, Childcare, Healthcare Support, Psychology or related field

• Patience, consistency and a genuine belief in what's possible for the person you support

• A person centered approach - you listen first, and treat the person as an expert in their own life

Nice to have: Full driving licence, experience supporting someone with high support needs.

What you'll get:

• 16 euro per hour + premiums, pension, employee assistance programme, free parking

• Permanent contract with hours to suit you

• Full paid induction training and ongoing CPD

• Supportive leadership, supervision and reflective practice

• A brand-new, well staffed home where you can see the difference you make, every shift
