RHS Home Care, a well-established not-for-profit cooperative providing home support services in the West of Ireland since 1996, has announced an expansion esulting in the creation of almost 500 new jobs.
The move comes in response to an unprecedented surge in demand for its services, prompting the creation of 490 immediate job vacancies. RHS Home Care has been a pillar of support in Roscommon, Galway, and Mayo for 28 years, embodying a home-first approach to care.
General Manager Patrick Towey said they are thrilled to be adding 490 new roles to continue providing the highest standards of care to vulnerable individuals, supporting them to remain at home.
“Home is proven to be the best and safest place for someone to remain, provided the correct supports are in place. Our recruitment drive for community-based care assistants will be completed throughout Roscommon, Mayo, Galway, Sligo, and Leitrim over the course of 2024.”
The company is actively seeking candidates for 100 positions in Roscommon, 120 in Galway, 120 in Mayo, and a combined 150 in the newly expanded counties of Leitrim and Sligo. Mr. Towey reflected on RHS Home Care’s growth, “When RHS Home Care was established in 1996 it was not envisaged that the project would grow to employ nearly 400 people. Initially, the Cooperative trained 30 people through start-up funding.”
RHS Home Care currently serves almost 1000 clients across three counties, distinguishing itself as the only home care cooperative of its kind in Ireland. Mr. Towey highlighted the cooperative’s unwavering commitment to prioritizing the client’s well-being over financial gain, setting RHS Home Care apart from commercial home care companies.
