Positive Care has been entrusted to care for over 500 Young People who are looked after by the State. We work in partnership with TUSLA to ensure all Young People receive quality services. These include therapeutic residential care, access to education, access to psychological services, integration into local communities, access to our Saoirse Adventure Programme and preparation for aftercare. We acknowledge that each young person has their own individual needs. Coupled with our multi-faceted Care Framework, we best meet those needs with a four step plan beginning with assessment overseen by our in house Clinical Team.

Likewise for our Services for Adults with Disabilties, the focus is on individual care and support with programmes guided by our Positive Behaviour Support Department overseen by our in house Board Certified Behaviour Analyst.

We employ and invest in over 270 people; more than 80%

of our management team have grown and developed from within the company. All of our teams understand and contribute to our vision for all Young People in Positive

Care. We have a multi layered Management structure to oversee compliance with Residential Care standards and to make certain that our teams receive the support, guidance and training when it is needed. We have grown over the past few years due to high demand for placements within our services. The various types of services we provide have enabled us to now manage 15 houses throughout Ireland.

Very office based
Focused on insurance , policy and procedures. Social care workers are expected to be bookkeepers at night, office administrators during the day and social care workers in between times.

You ...

Awful place to work
Company has a culture of cover up. Company hangs staff out to dry. Staff burnout and turnover is very high. The worst experience of my professional career so far. Lies, manipulation and threats are normal in the treatment of staff. The young people are treated as second class human beings.

Stressful place to Work

The 16 and 24 hr shifts are long and while you maybe rostered on for just 2 to 3 of these ...

This could not be achieved without the 300 employees working tirelessly to ensure that welfare. The HR Department supports the Childcare Staff and Managers to reach this end goal. As an Organisation, we inv...
