Testimonials

"My journey with Muiríosa Foundation has been one of continuous growth, support, and opportunity. I started as a newly qualified Social Care Worker in 2018, and from the beginning, I was encouraged to develop my skills and gain experience in all aspects of the role. This strong foundation opened doors for me to progress into management.

Muiríosa supported my postgraduate studies and career growth, encouraging me to apply for a management role and provided training to develop my leadership skills. With the support of peers and senior management, I also secured a role leading a school leaver transition project and completed a specialised postgraduate qualification to succeed.

Throughout my time with the organisation, having worked in multiple regions, I have always felt valued, supported, and encouraged to pursue new opportunities and enhance my learning. Muiríosa Foundation is a genuinely fantastic place to build a career in social care, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to make a real difference in the lives of others."

"My career with Muiríosa began on the relief panel as a Support Worker while I was still in college. This role allowed me to gain invaluable experience across various locations, working with individuals with a range of support needs. The flexibility of the relief panel helped me build experience in social care while continuing my studies.

After starting as a Social Care Worker, Muiríosa’s support helped me grow in confidence and competence, fostering my professional development. I progressed to a Team Leader role, gaining valuable leadership experience while continuing to provide high-quality care. A fixed-term Residential Leader position further deepened my understanding of senior leadership, preparing me to confidently step into a full-time permanent role when the opportunity arose.

Now, as a Residential Leader, I can confidently say Muiríosa has been key to my professional growth, offering continuous support and development. For new Social Care Workers, Muiríosa provides an incredible environment to gain experience, build confidence, and work alongside amazing colleagues and individuals. I highly recommend Muiríosa to anyone pursuing a career in social care."

"I am grateful for the opportunity to work with Muiríosa Foundation over the past six months, where I moved from the construction industry to a property management role.

Muiríosa Foundation’s management team have been incredibly encouraging, providing me with the guidance and resources I need. Their commitment to professional development and teamwork has not only enhanced my skills but also fostered a sense of belonging.
