Cope is recruiting

Cope Foundation has launched a recruitment drive to fill a variety of roles across a range of locations in Cork city and county.

The event at the Cope Foundation Day Centre in Clonakilty invited people to meet with some of the organisation’s team to discuss potential career opportunities in sectors including nursing, multi-disciplinary services, care assistants, and clerical.

The Cork-based charity works to enhance the lives of people with an intellectual disability and/or autism and currently supports over 2,800 people of every ability. Áine O’Callaghan, Head of Cope Foundation’s Human Resources Department, said: “We’re looking for open minded people who want to support people with an intellectual disability and/or autism achieve independence and to help them to live the lives of their choosing. There was huge interest in a similar event that we held in Cork city in April and we’re excited to meet and talk to even more people about the work of Cope Foundation.”

The open evening will take place at the Cope Foundation Day Centre in Clonakilty next Wednesday from 4-8pm. For more information about Cope Foundation and the event visit cope-foundation.ie.
