200 new jobs have been announced at a Dublin-based health care provider.
Belfast-based domiciliary care provider Connected Health will be creating new jobs at Home Care Plus, which currently employs 160 people.
The news comes as part of the expansion of Connected Health into the country.
Connected Health CEO Douglas Adams said: “We employ over 600 community care workers who provide tailored care services to over 1200 clients, including preparing meals four times per day and dispensing medication.
“Care workers have access to a phone to check-in with patients. Should a call be missed this is immediately flagged on our system and we’re able to respond to the care needs of the patient efficiently.”
The news comes as Connected Health secured a controlling stake in Home Care Plus which will see the staff numbers double over the next 12 months in Dublin, the Midlands, border counties, and the west.
Michael Harty, founder of Home Care Plus, said: “Home Care Plus is delighted with the investment of Connected Health in our business.
“We expect Connected Health’s in-depth sector knowledge; experienced management team and financial clout will enable us to take full advantage of the opportunities in the Irish homecare market.”
