Right at Home Ireland

One of Ireland's leading and award-winning home-care providers, Right at Home is currently advertising 31 positions across Dublin, Kildare, Wicklow, Meath, Laois, Wexford, Waterford, and Cork — making it one of the largest single-employer healthcare-assistant recruiters on HiringNow.ie. The company operates through regional offices in North Dublin, South Dublin, Kildare, and Cork, delivering person-centred care that helps older people and those with complex needs live independently in their own homes.

The vast majority of jobs at Right at Home are Healthcare Assistant positions, and the company is refreshingly transparent about pay. Hourly rates range from €14.00 to €20.00 depending on experience and location, with increased rates for Sundays and Bank Holidays and a weekly fuel allowance for drivers. Both full-time and part-time hours are available, making the roles suitable for candidates with family or study commitments. To be considered, applicants need a minimum of two QQI Level 5 modules — Care Skills and Care of the Older Person — along with a valid Patient Moving & Handling certificate (training is provided if required). At least 12 months' care experience is desirable but not always essential. All applicants must have the right to work in Ireland; Right at Home does not provide or sponsor employment visas.

The day-to-day work involves assisting clients with personal care such as washing, dressing, and grooming, light household duties and meal preparation, providing companionship and emotional support, and encouraging social and community activities. A Care Supervisor in the CHO7 (South Dublin) area oversees the quality of care delivery, while a Senior Supervisor (CHO7 Kildare) — requiring 3–5 years' experience and a minimum Level 6 qualification in Health, Social Care, or Management — carries out spot checks, client reviews, risk assessments, and compliance monitoring against HSE standards.

For candidates who enjoy fast-paced, high-responsibility work, the Rapid Responder roles are worth noting. These full-time positions cover emergency on-call situations — stepping in directly when care workers are sick or absent to ensure clients receive uninterrupted care. Pay for Rapid Responders ranges from €16.00 to €18.00 per hour, and the role requires strong composure, organisational skills, and a full clean driving licence with access to your own vehicle.

A Full-Time Driver Healthcare Assistant role in the Blackrock, Stillorgan, and Dún Laoghaire area combines driving between client homes with direct care delivery, offering guaranteed full-time hours and pay from €14.15 to €17.00 per hour plus a weekly fuel allowance. On the management side, a Homecare Supervisor at the North Dublin office, a Training Manager at the South Dublin office, and a part-time Recruitment Officer in Kildare round out the current openings. For anyone with QQI healthcare qualifications and a genuine passion for improving the quality of life for others, jobs at Right at Home offer flexible, well-paid frontline care work with clear progression into supervisory and management roles.
