At Dovida, we are seeking dedicated, compassionate people who are looking to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people in their community.
We believe in delivering person-centred home care that empowers our clients to live life their way in the comfort of their own home. And we do this by recognising that no two people are the same and shaping our care to best match our clients’ and caregivers’ interests, values, and personalities.
Our person-centred approach extends to our employees. Empowering you to achieve your career goals is just as important as our mission to empower every one of our clients to live fuller, more independent lives at home.
More than a job
Dovida caregivers provide essential support to ageing adults and people living with disabilities in their own homes.
While some of our clients need a caregiver to pop in once a week for some help around the house, others require daily support.
Some clients need temporary help after surgery, or respite care to give their loved ones some rest, while others use Dovida’s services on an ongoing basis.
Whatever the situation, we shape our care around our clients’ needs and proudly enable each person to live their life with connection, confidence, and choice in a way that is meaningful to them.
Community impact
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,” Amy Quille, General Manager at Dovida Kildare and Kilkenny, 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.
Why caregiving is a smart career move
• Flexible work patterns: Choose part-time or full-time roles with morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend options.
• Paid training and qualifications: Access sector-leading education through the Home Care Professionals Academy, including QQI Level 5 modules and specialist dementia training.
• Competitive benefits: Guaranteed-hour contracts, mileage allowances, and wellness supports.
• Career progression: Opportunities to move into care management, scheduling or operational roles.
• Make a difference: Help people live independently and stay connected to their family and friends.
