Healthcare Assistant – County Wexford

€14.15 – €16.00 per hour | Mileage & Travel Time Paid at 48c Per Mile | 5 to 35 Hours a Week

Looking for care work close to home, with hours that fit your life and support you can actually rely on?

Bluebird Care is hiring Healthcare Assistants right across County Wexford — Wexford Town, Enniscorthy, Gorey, New Ross and the surrounding areas. You'll support people in their own homes, helping them stay safe, comfortable and independent in the place they know best.

We'll match you to clients near where you live. No long drives across the county.

What You'll Do

One-to-one care in the client's own home:

• Personal care (washing, dressing, toileting)
• Light meal preparation and household tasks
• Companionship and emotional support
• Help with mobility and daily routines

You won't be left to figure it out alone — full training and day-to-day support from a local team who answer the phone.

Hours Built Around You

We provide care seven days a week, 8am to 8pm. That means there's room to build a week that actually suits you.

• A few hours a week? 5 or 10 hours is a genuine option. Plenty of our team fit care around family, study or another job.
• Something steadier? 15 or 20 hours a week, on a pattern you agree at the start and keep.
• Full-time? Up to 35 hours a week.

Our busiest periods are mornings from 8am–12 and evenings from 4pm–8pm, so there's most availability in those blocks. But we run calls right through the day — if the middle of the day suits you better, say so and we'll work with it.

Once your pattern is agreed, it stays put. Same clients, same days, week to week.

Pay & Benefits

• €14.15 to €16.00 per hour, depending on experience and qualifications
• Mileage and travel time between calls paid at 48c per mile
• 10 hours of paid training
• Ongoing learning and development
• A supportive local team in your own area

Not Fully Qualified Yet?

If you have care experience — including looking after a family member — but haven't completed QQI, we can help. We offer heavily subsidised QQI training in Care Skills and Care of the Elderly, and we'll guide you through it.

Who We're Looking For

• Compassionate and respectful
• Reliable, punctual and organised
• Comfortable working independently, with a team behind you

Requirements

• Living anywhere in County Wexford
• Full driving licence and your own transport
• QQI Care Skills and Care of the Elderly, or willingness to complete them with us
