Home Instead Midlands is looking to further grow its team of CAREGivers in the weeks and months ahead.
“We need kind and caring people to help us enhance the lives of older people and their families. The work is local, the jobs are sustainable and there are opportunities available in rural and urban areas in Westmeath, Offaly and Longford," Jonathan Acton, MD Home Instead Midlands, stated.
Home Instead Midlands was recently joined by Minister for Trade Promotion Robert Troy, to announce the creation of 100 CAREGiver roles to strengthen its existing Midlands region based team.
Since the global pandemic began in March 2020, Home Instead Midlands has recruited more than 100 CAREGivers and due to increased demand are seeking to recruit another 100 CAREGivers to the Midlands team by the end of this year.
“This is great news from Home Instead Midlands today. Not only are they creating 100 new jobs, but they are also providing an essential service to some of the most vulnerable people in our community. I want to thank Mr Acton, his administration team, and most importantly their dedicated team of frontline workers providing essential care in the home to seniors all over the Midlands. I want to thank them for their ongoing care and support for their clients – particularly at such a challenging time," Deputy Troy remarked.
“I am incredibly proud of our CAREGivers for their hard work and for the dedication they have shown over the last 12 months, going over and beyond in keeping our clients safe and well in their homes providing much needed support, personal care and most importantly companionship during what has been a lonely and difficult time. Equally, I would like to thank our office staff who have worked long days and nights behind the scenes supporting our CAREGivers and ensuring they were always protected with PPE," Home Instead Midlands managing director, Jonathan Action, said.
At the small, socially distanced event outside its offices in Marlinstown, Mullingar, Home Instead Midlands also presented its CAREGiver of the Month for February to local resident, Bernie Swarbrigg.
“Bernie was nominated for this award on many occasions of late but this month she was voted in unanimously due to her continued dedication to her clients, but especially for assisting so many people who would be considered palliative care. Bernie would be one of our most popular carers who is adored by not only her clients and their families but also by all of us working behind the scenes at Home Instead," Jonathan enthused.
