Nua Healthcare to create 300 new jobs

Nua Healthcare Services is to create a further 300 jobs to bring its headcount to more than 2,100 people.

The company, a provider of intellectual disability and mental health services, said the new roles were being created due to ongoing growth. The roles consist of care support positions and are available at operations nationwide.

Nua said it hoped the roles would attract people who have previously never worked in the healthcare sector.

"We are especially looking for people who may want to change their current career path and who believe they have compatible skills born out of relevant life experience which will ultimately enable them to be successful in healthcare services," said Nua's chief operating officer Shane Kenny.
