Dovida invite to info session on home care this Friday
Dovida, providers of in-home care services, are holding a ‘Home Care Information Session’ where those interested can learn more about seeking care for a loved one or exploring a rewarding career in caregiving, on Friday of this week, January 16.
Dovida are dedicated to empowering people to live independently and comfortably in their own homes. They have more than 20 years of experience and a team of highly trained caregivers, and deliver person-centred support that enhances quality of life for individuals and families across the country.
This January 16, they’re inviting people to join them at our Home Care Information Session, between 11am and 2pm in the Annebrook House Hotel, Mullingar.
Families can learn more about the services, meet the team, and receive free care consultations tailored to their needs. A member of the Dovida recruitment team will also be on hand for walk-in interviews for those interested in joining the team of caregivers.
Caregiving offers meaningful work that fits your lifestyle, with flexible schedules, free and subsidised training, and clear career progression. Many caregivers have transitioned from retail, hospitality, and other sectors, seeking a role that makes a difference.
If you’ve cared for a family member or simply want a career with purpose, we’d love to meet you. At Dovida, their Circle of Care philosophy puts the individual at the heart of everything we do. Their mission is to empower people to live their lives, their way.

Need for care and support
“The need for care and support in the home is growing as our society ages, and personalised home support services for people of all ages and abilities are preferred to residential care,” Shane Jennings, Dovida Ireland CEO, said.
“We are proud to be able to offer local jobs that empower people to live in their homes, connected to their families, friends, and communities and are committed to supporting people who want to transition to a career in care this year,” he added.
With flexible schedules, paid training, and clear progression pathways, Dovida offers opportunities for those seeking a career change that makes a difference. “Many of our caregivers joined from careers in retail, hospitality, or customer service,” Lorraine McLaughlin, general manager, Dovida Midlands, said.
“They wanted work that fits their lifestyle and gives back to the community, and caregiving offers exactly that. A lot of people also come to us having had previous experience caring for a family member and have realised this is something they have a passion for," she added.
Dovida offers caregivers the opportunity to choose their hours around what best suits their lifestyle. Part-time, full-time and fixed-hour contracts with a minimum of 25 hours per week are available.
People in receipt of social welfare can apply to work a set number of hours, depending on the type of support they receive, and the company can also offer positions to individuals on General Work Permits.
“People who need support from Dovida want to maintain autonomy over their life, to experience belonging, pursue happiness and find purpose. Our caregivers are key to ensuring that as many people as possible can do just that and often find their lives enriched by the experience as well,” Lorraine said.
