The Orchard Care Group is a wholly Irish owned company dedicated to providing the best possible care, supports and outcomes for children, young people, and adults in Ireland across a range of settings and locations, in fostering, disability and mainstream residential services.
The Group brings together three leading brands in Irish social care – Orchard Residential, Orchard Community Care and Orchard Fostering.
As we continue to expand to provide additional services to meet the needs of those we care for, we currently have a number of opportunities within our Orchard Residential Care division, across Co. Leitrim for full time, part time and relief Social Care Workers.

These positions are ideal for those who enjoy working in a team and want to make a difference in the lives of children and young people who have experienced trauma in their early years. You will be provided with extensive training in our model of care to assist you in your role and will also have access to a multidisciplinary team that provides therapeutic support to the young people.
