300 New Jobs Announced

A company in Co Armagh is to create 300 new jobs, it has been reported.

It is understood that the roles will be delivered by Homecare Independent Living.

The firm already employs 1,200 healthcare workers throughout Ireland.

Around 30 of the new jobs will be based at the organisation's new Belfast office, with the remaining positions being spread across a number of community-based roles.

Recruitment will commence immediately.

Chief executive Mairead Mackle said: "Our overwhelming experience is that people want to be cared for at home, in their own communities.

"The best operators in the independent health care sector are making significant infrastructure investment at our own risk and this model has to be a prudent part of the health care mix in Northern Ireland."
