“The respite care provided to the people we support and their families is invaluable to so many and it is important for us to be able to expand the service to meet the need from all over Cork. It offers the adults and children who avail of the service a chance to develop and grow alongside their peers which is key to the ethos of Horizons. It is a wonderful opportunity to work in a caring environment and we welcome anyone who is looking for a change in career to come and join our team.” – Eamon Nash is Chief Operations Officer at Horizons.
“I see first-hand the difference respite makes to the children and adults we support and their families. Respite is about much more than providing a break. It is about giving people opportunities to build friendships, enjoy new experiences and spend time in a place where they feel happy, safe and valued. For families, knowing that their loved one is enjoying their time with people they can trust is hugely important to us in Horizons.
Demand for respite continues to grow across children’s and adult services and our hope is to continue expanding services so that we can reach more people and families. At the heart of that will always be our respite teams. Their compassion, energy and commitment are what makes respite truly special.” – Leanne Moloney is a Regional Manager at Horizons.
