Hi, I’m Margaret Dennehy, Live-in Recruitment & Live-in Service Co-Ordinator here in Dovida. As we celebrate National Hiring Week, I wanted to take a moment to share a little about our incredible Live-in Care team—and why now is a great time to consider joining us.
What is Live-in Care?
Live-in care is a compassionate and personalised service where caregivers live in the home of the person they support. It allows clients to remain in familiar surroundings while receiving dedicated, one-on-one care tailored to their needs. Whether it’s companionship, help with daily tasks, or more complex care, our Live-in team makes a real difference in people’s lives every single day.
“Our Live-in Care team is made up of kind, skilled, and committed individuals”.

Knowing that Dovida truly values my work has strengthened my confidence and reminded me why I do this job. Feeling appreciated gives me energy and patience, and it helps me connect even deeper with the people I care for — because I know I’m supported.
One of the things I truly appreciate about Dovida is how much they genuinely care about us as caregivers. I really value the fact that they regularly check in to see how we are doing, both personally and professionally. It makes me feel that my work is seen and appreciated. I also feel very supported knowing that they are always available whenever we need help or advice with any issue that may come up. This constant support gives me confidence in my role.
I’ve felt truly appreciated… being recognised by name for my caregiving efforts. These moments have shown me that both my work and well-being truly matter to Dovida.
