A variety of roles will be available.

The Cope Foundation, one of the largest disability organisations in Ireland, will hold two Recruitment Open Days in Cork city later this month.

Cope Foundation is looking to recruit care assistants and nursing staff in Cork at an event in The Clayton Silversprings Hotel on Wednesday, January 25th between 2pm and 7pm and a second event in The Metropole Hotel on Saturday, January 28th from 10am to 2pm.

Vanessa Kelleher (25) attended the event last April and started working with Cope Foundation in August:

“I was already working in a healthcare setting but I wanted a change so I went to the Open Day,” she said.

“Not only are you helping people with their needs, but the work itself also is really enjoyable and it makes you feel good. The staff at the Open Days are really nice and friendly and they just get to know you and prepare you for the interview.”

Eamon Nash, Chief Operations Officer of Cope Foundation said many people on the team started out as care assistants and are now working at the highest level in the organisation:

“We have more than 70 locations across Cork and some of the benefits of working with Cope Foundation include membership of the Single Public Service Pension Scheme, paid maternity/paternity leave and sick leave paid in line with the public sector sick pay scheme,” he said.
