Ireland has an ageing population and this trend is set to continue over the coming years. As a result, the demand for qualified and capable healthcare assistants/carers is projected to increase. Healthcare assistants are employed in public and private hospitals, public and private residential nursing homes, hospices, community care centres and by the HSE and private agencies for the Home Care Scheme.
