What’s the Role: Support Worker
What It Takes:
An important part of the staff role is to support the needs of individuals through the ethos and values of Praxis Care.
The ability to be resilient, communicate effectively, and utilise a variety of communication tools is essential.
Our dedicated staff team supports our individuals to learn and develop their independence skills, which includes tasks such as shopping, cleaning their flat, personal care, accessing the community, budgeting, and taking medication. Each staff member has something to bring to the role, and we encourage staff to use their humour, sense of fun, and creativity in supporting our individuals with day-to-day life.
Where You Would Work: The Avenue, Ardee, Co. Louth

We believe that each service user we support should have the opportunity to lead active and fulfilling lives and have lots of fun along the way!
