Home Instead Hiring Week at Harbour Place this morning

Paul Devine and Rory Fagan, who work in business development for Home Instead, are at Harbour Place Shopping Centre this morning, ready and available to talk about job opportunities at their organisation.

Home Instead, leading home care services providers, have had their ‘Hiring Week’ this week, and have hosted more than events nationwide.

They aim to “expand their professional CAREGiver team by 1000”.

Home Instead are running a ‘Not Just a Carer’ initiative, challenging stereotypes, and acknowledging the contributions of caregivers.

They point out that dedicated professional caregivers have often been unfairly labelled or made to feel like ‘just a carer’, perpetuating undervaluation.

This week, Home Instead teams have been engaged in communities to convey the reasons that caregiving is a highly skilled profession, including the demand for a high level of emotional intelligence, interpersonal and communication skills, flexibility to respond swiftly in emergencies, grit and determination, and both physical and emotional fortitude.

Lorraine McLaughlin, general manager of Home Instead Westmeath, said: “As a professional Home Instead caregiver, you’ll discover stability, flexibility, and a supportive environment that nurtures personal and professional growth.”

“Home Instead’s caregivers undergo best-in-class training through our Home Care Professionals Academy, ensuring each caregiver feels equipped to provide the highest-quality care for those they care for.”

“Home Instead are values-based employers and as such we recognise our caregiver workforce through regular appreciation initiatives and a national awards programme.”

Lorraine encourages people interested in possible jobs to attend hiring events, including talking to Paul and Rory at Harbour Place Shopping Centre today. “It’s an opportunity to explore rewarding career options and become part of a wonderful team making a genuine difference in the lives of ageing adults and their families.”
