More than a job. A reason to show up every day.

Every morning across Dublin, Kildare, and Wicklow, our carers walk

through someone's front door and make their day possible. A familiar face. A

steady hand. Someone who genuinely cares. That's the role - and it matters more

than most people realise.

We're hiring Healthcare Assistants to join our team. No prior care

experience required. We're far more interested in who you are than what's on

your CV.

What amazing responsibilities you'll have:

You'll provide care and support to clients in their own homes -

helping with personal care, daily routines, mobility, meals, and companionship.

Every visit is guided by an individual care plan, and you'll use our OneTouch

system to clock in, record notes, and flag anything that needs attention.

Some days are straightforward. Some aren't. What stays constant is

the standard - you treat every client with dignity, respect their home, and

deliver care you'd be proud of.

Who we're looking for

We don't need a perfect CV. We need the right person.

You're kind, reliable, and honest. You show up when you say you

will and you do what you say you'll do. You're comfortable working

independently in someone's home, but you know when to ask for help or raise a

concern. You treat people the way you'd want your own family treated.

You have a genuine desire to help others - not as a line on an

application, but as something that drives how you operate.

Requirements:

  • You must have current eligibility to work in Ireland - this is a non-negotiable requirement.
  • QQI Level 5 in Healthcare - minimum modules: Care Skills and Care of the Older Person
  • Willingness to undergo Garda Vetting (mandatory - all staff are vetted before their first shift) & Reference checks.
  • Good communication skills - clear, respectful, professional


  • Transport: Access to your own car is required in most areas - drivers receive a mileage rate of 30c/km. In urban Dublin locations, we can facilitate carers who travel by public transport or on foot, with a flat-rate travel allowance of €10-€40 per fortnight. We'll discuss what works for your area at interview.


Limited care experience? That's fine. We provide comprehensive training and a structured induction with supervised shadowing before you work independently.

Why Hibernia?

  • Market-leading pay - average carer rate of €16.10/hour, with evening and weekend premiums up to €20.00/hour
  • Mileage rate of 30c/km for drivers; flat-rate travel allowance of €10-€40 per fortnight for non-drivers
  • Health plan for you, your spouse/partner, and dependents (aged 16-22 in full-time education) - includes digital GP,
  • Employee Assistance Programme, and health & wellness benefits
  • Death in Service (life cover) provided
  • Pension - auto-enrolment or optional PRSA, subject to terms and conditions
  • Refer a Friend bonus
  • Educational credits and ongoing training
  • Flexible scheduling built around your agreed contracted hours
  • A company that invests in its carers - because the quality of care depends on it
  • We're not a faceless agency. We're a growing Irish home care provider with real structure, real compliance standards, and a genuine commitment to our team.
  • Our values - Our Word is Our Bond, Care as a Way of Being, Sincerity in Straightforwardness, Courage and Vulnerability as One - are how we operate, not just what we say.


What happens next?
