Job description
Woodbrook Care is a leading provider of home care services in County Wexford and our ethos is that if we look after you, our care staff, you'll deliver a better service to our clients.

* treat you with the respect and compassion that your role deserves
* be easy to contact and willing to listen to your concerns
* build rotas that work for you so you make the most of your available hours
* incentivise you to do covers rather than plague you to do them
