4C Executive Placement is proud to support Praxis Care in the appointment of Head of Property (ROI), a key leadership role with responsibility for shaping and safeguarding a diverse property portfolio that underpins the delivery of high-quality care services across the Republic of Ireland.

Praxis Care is the largest registered Social Care Charity in Northern Ireland, founded in 1984 initially to provide a befriending service to people with mental ill health experiencing isolation. Praxis has since expanded its services in terms of scope and geography across the UK, Republic of Ireland and Isle of Man, and has gained a formidable reputation both as an innovator in the sector and for its authentic commitment to improving the lives of those individuals it supports.
