Job Description

Join a team that truly values you

Dovida Caregivers provide a variety of non-medical home care services which support, empower and uplift people, and help them to remain living at home.

As a Dovida caregiver, you’ll provide essential support to ageing adults and people living with disability in their own homes.

These services are person-centred, tailored to clients’ requirements, and delivered on flexible schedules.

As Ireland’s largest and longest-established home care company, we have a team of 4,000 Caregivers working all over Ireland, and we are committed to recognising and showing our appreciation for our frontline staff.

Careers in care for everyone

Dovida offers a range of different opportunities in home care, from flexible opportunities to full-time employment.

• Full-time Caregivers: We have full-time opportunities for people who would like to make a career in care with Dovida. We offer full training and support, as well as ongoing training opportunities for personal and professional development.
• Part-time / flexible positions: Dovida offers flexible opportunities in care. You can work part-time, in the mornings, afternoons, evenings or at weekends. This means you can balance your work around other commitments, such as family life, study or other jobs.
• Live-in Caregiver: We have live-in opportunities throughout Ireland for Caregivers who share our values and are passionate about delivering high-quality care. As a Live-in Caregiver, you will reside in the home of the person you are caring for.
• New to home care: Many people join Dovida from other jobs. Whether you work in retail, hospitality, or in another care sector, as long as you have a kind and caring heart, we may have a role for you.
• Students / Student Nurses: Students enjoy working with Dovida because the flexible hours available mean they can work around their study commitments. Student nurses can gain practical experience by caring in the community.
• Vocation for care: People can develop a vocation for care for many reasons – they may have a natural love for helping others, or perhaps they looked after a friend or family member and decided to make a career in care.

Benefits of Joining Dovida

• Competitive rates of pay, with higher rates at weekends and bank holidays
• Free and subsidised training

• Flexible schedules which match the Caregivers’ availability and requirements
• Strong support and 24/7 back-up from their local office team
