What we are about
Make a Meaningful Difference Every Day
At Watershed Care Services, we believe care begins with our team. Whether you're supporting an older adult to live independently or nurturing a child in their early years, your work has purpose, and your impact is real.
We’re more than a care provider, we’re a family-run organisation that values compassion, professionalism, and trust. If you’re looking for a meaningful role where you’ll be respected, supported, and empowered to grow, you’ve come to the right place.
Employee Benefits
At Watershed, we believe care begins with you, the caregiver. Whether you’re supporting families through home or childcare services, we offer an environment where your skills are valued, your voice is heard, and your wellbeing is prioritised.
Here’s what makes us different:
Competitive and Transparent Pay
We offer fair and transparent pay that is liveable, with your hourly rate dependant on experience and role.
You’ll always know exactly what you’re earning, with mileage reimbursement, a €150 welcome bonus, and a €100 referral reward for bringing great people into our team.
Flexible Working
We offer flexible hours that work around your life, mornings, evenings, nights, weekends, or just a few days a week.
But we also know our clients value consistency and familiar faces, so we carefully match you with the right families and strive to keep your rota as stable and predictable as possible.
Comprehensive Induction & Ongoing Professional Development
You’ll receive a thorough induction to get you off to a confident start, followed by regular training and mentoring to grow your skills.
Where possible we fully sponsor industry-relevant qualifications because we’re invested in helping you develop professionally and personally.
We also provide ongoing refresher training, workshops, and mentorship to help you feel confident and capable in your role.
Career Progression & Promotion Pathways
Whether you want to grow into senior care roles, supervisory positions, or explore management, we’ll help you get there.
With clear progression pathways, regular feedback, and access to nationally recognised qualifications, we’re here to help you shape your career in care.
Supportive Culture & Real Connection
You’ll be supported every step of the way by your local care manager and colleagues who genuinely care.
We also offer a confidential Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) to support your wellbeing with expert advice, mental health support, and 24/7 access because looking after you helps you look after others.
Recognition
We see you and we celebrate you. From Employee of the Month awards to spontaneous thank-yous and team recognition events, we make sure your hard work never goes unnoticed. There’s even a little something extra in store when you go the extra mile.
Wellness
We believe a healthy team is a happy team. We actively support work-life balance, encourage regular breaks, and host team socials throughout the year.
Plus, with our Bike to Work Scheme, you can save money and get a shiny new bike. We’ll buy the bike, you repay monthly saving you cash through government-backed tax wizardry.
Uniforms
All staff are provided with a comfortable, practical uniform suitable for daily work in the home.
If you're supporting clients outside the home, for exmaple at events or in more formal settings, we’ll give you clear guidance to ensure you're confident and appropriately dressed.

Want to give back to your community? We offer one paid volunteering day each year for you to help out the local community.
