Grow Your Career in Complex Care
Advanced Community Care is recruiting Nurses to work at the cutting-edge of complex care within the community. This is your opportunity to learn, experience and grow – while tapping into the one-to-one, human side of nursing that drove your career choice. While this is a chance to explore a more independent approach to nursing, you will also enjoy the backing, support and assistance that comes with being a part of a highly-skilled team.
A career with Advanced Community care is your opportunity to change lives: yours included. As part of Resilience, we provide a future-focused, specialist service at the forefront of change in Irish healthcare – shifting the emphasis from hospital care to specialised nursing within the community. We offer highly-individualised complex care services to children, young adults and families who need support in the face of injury, illness or disability – and who may require the intervention of medical technology at home. Our team works in a client's own community – in their home or school – delivering one-to-one, individualised, completely-personalised nursing that takes them right to the heart of families in need. We provide care at the right time and in the right place.
