Care that feels like family
To deliver professional, quality care, we’re looking for people like you who are skilled, qualified, value our core standards of care and who empathise with each client and their families. At FCI, we know care better than anyone, as we have supported family carers for over 30 years, thus understand that every carer situation and requirement is different. Our focus has always been on providing a personalised, tailored and quality home care service that responds to a family’s changing needs.
"I can honestly say this is the best job I have ever had, where the word ‘family’ is really what it’s all about. The care and attention given to both the client and their family is second to none and I never thought it possible to have a job that fulfilled what work should be. This is largely due to the care, support and understanding FCI have for their clients and for their employees." Patrick Byrne, HCW, FCI
If you are interested in finding out more about joining our progressive team of Home Care Workers, please get in touch by submitting your CV. Alternatively, you can contact us by sending an enquiry to jobs@familycarers.ie.
"Qualifying as a nurse many years ago and then leaving that career to become a family carer was the start of my journey with FCI, receiving support from them as an organisation when I needed it. I then began working with the company as a Health Care Assistant and this has led to the role I cover now as the Home Services Officer in Cavan and Monaghan. I absolutely love my job and consider myself very lucky as the team I work with are so supportive, from our Office Manager to the administration staff and then our Health Care workers, we all realise the importance of what we do and take pride in doing our jobs to the best of our ability." Eleanor Murphy, HSO, FCI
