Homecare provider Connected Health has announced plans to create 500 new jobs in Ireland over the course of 2023. This will double its workforce here, bringing the total number of employees in Ireland to 1,000. The 500 new roles will be community-based care assistants and over 50 of the roles are being created as part of the company's new premium homecare service offering in Dublin.
The new private homecare service will offer clients a range of care services such as chauffeur-driven shopping trips and personal assistance, as well as more traditional care activities like wake-up calls, tuck-in services and enhanced care with nurse oversight.
Connected Health said there is currently a rapidly growing demand for private home care in Ireland.
