Event Details
- Date: Wednesday 20th May
- Time: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
- Location: Abbey Court Hotel, Dublin Road, Nenagh, Co. Tipperary, E45 KR79
What Makes This Different — Better Pay. Real Flexibility. No Catch.
If you're already working in home care, this will make you think twice about where you're working now.
Enhanced Pay Rate — €15.30 – €16.35
Based on experience and qualification. Premium rates on Sundays. Actual figures shared at the fair.
Paid Between Clients — €14.15/hr
Between every client call. You get paid between calls, not just during them.
Paid Mileage & Travel Time — 35c/mile
For every mile between clients. Many home care companies don't pay travel time or mileage at all. Bluebird pays both.
Real Flexibility — 20hrs to 40hrs per week, you choose
Morning, evening, or weekend shifts. Build your schedule around your life — not the other way around.
On the Day — What to Expect
Meet the Care Team
Chat with our care managers and current HCAs. Hear real stories about what the job is actually like — not a sales pitch. Ask anything.
On-the-Spot Interviews
Book an appointment in advance and you'll get a guaranteed interview slot on the day. Bring your CV and you could walk out with a job offer. Walk-ins are welcome to meet the team and find out more.
Training & QQI Support
Find out how we support HCAs through QQI modules and ongoing upskilling. Learn about progression pathways and how we build your confidence from day one.
A Day in the Life of an HCA
Your day starts with visiting clients in their homes across Tipperary. Maybe it's helping someone get ready for the morning. Maybe it's preparing a meal, keeping someone company over a cup of tea, or reminding them to take their medication.
Every day is different. Every client is different. But the goal is always the same: helping people live independently, with dignity and comfort, in the place they love most — their own home.
It's not just a job. It's the kind of work that stays with you — because you know you've made someone's day better.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to book?
No — everyone is welcome to drop in between 10am and 3pm. But if you want a guaranteed on-the-spot interview, book an appointment in advance. Walk-ins can meet the team, ask questions, and find out more about the role.
How do I book an interview slot?
When you register to attend the event, you will receive an SMS and email with all the details you will need to book your interview slot.
What should I bring?
Your CV and any QQI certificates or references you have. It would also be very helpful if you brought your passport or driver's licence and a proof of address document, as if you are successful on the day, we will be able to complete your garda vetting.
Do I need care experience?
Yes, previous care experience is required; however, this includes caring for a loved one or family member. It is essential that the care you have provided includes all the areas of personal hygiene. If you do have experience but do not have the QQI certs, don't let that put you off. We can support you through obtaining them.
Do I need a car?
You need your own car and a full drivers licence to get between client visits. Public transport alone won't be sufficient for this role.
What areas does Tipperary cover?
We provide care all across County Tipperary. On the day, we will discuss the availability of hours in your specific area.
