Description

Evenings free? Weekends available? This could be the role that fits your life.

Not everyone wants a 9-to-5. If you're looking for flexible work that pays well and makes a genuine difference, home care might be exactly what you're after.

We're hiring Healthcare Assistants for evening and weekend-focused shifts Dublin, Kildare, Wicklow & Meath. No prior care experience needed — we'll train you. What matters is that you're reliable, kind, and motivated.

The details

• Service area: Dublin, Kildare, and Wicklow — your place of work will be within an agreed service area defined through your availability assessment at interview


• Office bases: Blanchardstown, Dublin 15 and Kimmage, Dublin 12


• Contract: Permanent — 15, 20, or 25 hours per week, agreed at offer stage


• Pay: From €15/hour (average carer rate €16.10/hour), with enhanced evening and weekend rates of €17.50 – €20.00/hour. Paid fortnightly.


• Monday to Friday mornings


• Monday to Friday afternoons/evenings


• Transport: Access to your own car is required in most areas — drivers receive 30c/km mileage. In urban Dublin locations, we can facilitate carers who travel by public transport or on foot, with a flat‑rate travel allowance of €10–€40 per fortnight.

What you'll do

You’ll support clients in their homes with personal care, daily routines, meals, companionship, and settling‑in visits in the evenings. Weekend work follows the same pattern — familiar clients, consistent care plans, real relationships.

You’ll clock in and out through our OneTouch system, follow individual care plans, and report any changes or concerns. The work is hands‑on, independent, and deeply personal to the people you support.

Who we're looking for

Someone dependable. Someone who treats people with warmth and respect — even when the work is unglamorous. You’re comfortable in someone else’s home, you can work on your own initiative, and you understand that being on time and being present genuinely matters to the person waiting for you.

You don’t need experience in care. You need the values.

What you’ll need

• You must have current eligibility to work in Ireland — this is a non‑negotiable requirement


• QQI Level 5 in Healthcare — minimum: Care Skills and Care of the Older Person


• Willingness to undergo Garda Vetting (mandatory — all staff are vetted before their first shift) & Reference Checks.


• Availability for evening and/or weekend shifts


• Enhanced pay for evenings and weekends — up to €20.00/hour


• Mileage rate of 30c/km for drivers; flat‑rate travel allowance of €10–€40 per fortnight for non‑drivers


• Health plan for you, your spouse/partner, and dependents (aged 16–22 in full‑time education) — includes digital GP, Employee Assistance Programme, and health & wellness benefits


• Death in Service (life cover) provided


• Pension — auto‑enrolment or optional PRSA, subject to terms and conditions


• Refer a Friend bonus


• Educational credits and career development


• Flexible scheduling built around your availability


• No prior experience required — full training and supported induction provided

We hold ourselves to high compliance standards — Garda Vetting, mandatory training, supervised induction, and structured care plans for every client. That’s not bureaucracy. It’s how you build a service people can trust.
