Description About the Service

Looking for a role where every shift feels a little like a getaway? Aubrey Respite in Shankill, Dublin 18, offers short breaks and holiday style experiences for adults with intellectual disabilities across the CH06 area. Our residents enjoy regular overnight stays and annual longer breaks, filling their time with activities they choose - from bowling in Bray and days out to Dublin Zoo, to relaxed evenings and creative projects at home. We pride ourselves on creating a fun, welcoming "home away from home", where each stay is calm, engaging and person centred. Working in respite gives you the opportunity to support individuals with a range of abilities and support needs, all within a close knit, experienced team. If you're passionate about making meaningful moments matter, we'd love you to join us.

Working hours will be Monday to Sunday.
