Dovida Expands Home Care Jobs in Donegal Amid Rising Demand

UPDATE: Dovida, Ireland’s leading home care provider, is expanding its workforce in Donegal to meet an urgent surge in demand for caregiving services. With over 4,000 caregivers already employed across the nation, the company is actively recruiting individuals eager to make a meaningful impact in their communities.

As of January 2025, Dovida aims to fill a variety of positions, offering flexible schedules and paid training for those seeking a rewarding career change. “The need for care and support in the home is growing as our society ages,” stated Shane Jennings, CEO of Dovida Ireland. He emphasized the growing preference for personalized home support over residential care, highlighting the critical role caregivers play in enabling individuals to remain connected to their families and communities.

Dovida’s General Manager for Donegal, Roberta Cuddy, noted that many current caregivers have transitioned from careers in fields like retail and hospitality. “They wanted work that fits their lifestyle and gives back to the community,” she explained. The company is particularly keen to attract those with personal caregiving experience, as many find a passion for this vital work.

The available roles feature part-time, full-time, and fixed-hour contracts, with a minimum commitment of 25 hours per week. People receiving social welfare can apply based on their support type, and the company is open to hiring individuals on General Work Permits.

Dovida is committed to enriching the lives of both caregivers and those they support. “People who need support from Dovida want to maintain autonomy over their life, to experience belonging, pursue happiness and find purpose,” Cuddy added. The caregiving profession not only provides essential assistance but also offers caregivers a sense of fulfillment and connection.
