Some 130 jobs are to be created in Dublin with the opening of a new nursing home in Santry.

The TLC Group is opening the Cara Care Centre in Northwood Park at the end of the month, with a €12 million investment.

The home will have 103 beds for public and private patients, day care and respite facilities.

The new centre is recruiting nurses, care assistants, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, chefs, waitresses, kitchen porters, housekeeping staff, night porters, receptionists, administrators, and staff for the hair and beauty salon on site.

The TLC Group has homes in Straffan, Co Kildare, City West in Dublin and a second centre in Santry, and currently employs 354 people. Two more centres are being planned for Blanchardstown and Killiney.
