Discover ‘The Dovida Way’ – Our Culture

For 21 years, families across Ireland have trusted Dovida to support the people they love most. Our experienced Caregivers, who bring professionalism, compassion and good judgement into 8,000 homes across Ireland every day, are at heart of each of these trusted services.

There are many reasons why we can proudly say Dovida is the employer of choice in today’s home care sector, and right at the forefront is our culture.

Our culture

Our unique culture sets Dovida apart from other care providers. With a 4,000-strong team of Caregivers working all across Ireland, we understand that everyone has a unique set of experiences. We encourage all our staff to bring their true selves to work, to learn from others, and to help others learn.

Our procedures and policies ensure that dignity, respect, and a safe and inclusive working environment are guaranteed at Dovida. Our local teams provide hands-on, day-to-day support so our Caregivers can focus on what they do best, which is to help clients live happy, safe and independent lives at home.

Employee recognition is the beating heart of the culture at Dovida. We reward Caregivers for their work through initiatives like Caregiver of the Year, Caregiver of the Month, 5- and 10-year work anniversaries, social events, prize draws, and initiatives like Caregiver Appreciation Week.

These events are a great opportunity for each employee to see their hard work get the recognition it deserves, and to feel like a valued member of the Dovida family.

Culture Week – a highlight of our year

We elevate and celebrate the achievements of Caregivers from diverse cultural, ethnic and professional backgrounds. Dovida Culture Week, which takes place each November, is a country-wide celebration of the variety of vibrant cultures our staff represent.

Over the course of the week, local offices hold cultural events, where every employee gets the chance to share stories about themselves and their culture – Dovida Culture Week ranks among the highlights of our events calendar.

Our culture is all about empowering our Caregivers with the skills they need to deliver excellence in care, and we show respect for their experience as they develop their career with us. At Dovida, we invest in our team’s success through comprehensive training and development opportunities.

From initial orientation to ongoing professional development, we’ll provide the support you need to build a fulfilling career in home care. We offer clear pathways into senior care roles, mentoring/leadership roles, or specialist care areas.

We’ll provide ongoing professional development and rewards that recognise your commitment to our clients and your career.

A place for all of us to grow

In a nutshell, Dovida’s culture is all about providing our diverse Caregiver team with a respectful, supportive environment which makes them proud to work for us.

Dovida is a place for all of us to grow, learn and develop as we carry out our mission: to empower, support and uplift people by putting them at the heart of everything we do.
