Why Work for Connected Health in Ireland?

A career in homecare is widely recognised as one of the most rewarding professions. Ask anyone working in the sector and they’ll tell you it’s more than just a job, it’s a vocation. Many of our healthcare assistants at Connected Health say they gain just as much from their role as they give. Our healthcare assistants play a vital role in supporting clients with their day-to-day living. This includes personal care, medication prompting and providing social support. Our goal is to help people live as independently as possible, safely and comfortably in their own homes.

Our healthcare assistants are at the heart of everything we do, which is why their wellbeing and job satisfaction matter so much to us. To ensure this, we regularly carry out anonymous staff surveys to understand how our employees feel about their roles. In our most recent survey (February 2025), involving over 200 team members, the results were overwhelmingly positive. An impressive 91% said they enjoy their current role, while 97% described their work as both challenging and rewarding.

Working with Connected Health allows care assistants to develop a wide range of valuable skills, including the ability to remain calm under pressure, a strong understanding of basic healthcare and hygiene standards, excellent communication skills, respect for each individual client and their family, and sensitivity and tact in all situations. If you already have some of these qualities, you may have what it takes to become a care assistant with Connected Health. If the role sounds like something you would enjoy, you can learn more about what being a healthcare assistant involves on our website. One of the most rewarding aspects of the role is the meaningful relationships our care assistants build every day.
