Minister for Finance Micheal McGrath TD was in Enniscorthy today with Platinum Homecare at the Peare Campus, Old Dublin Road, for an important jobs’ announcement.
Founded in February 2023 by two entrepreneurs with a strong Co. Wexford background, Ed Murphy and Dermot Bolger, and supported by Charlotte Reilly, Platinum Homecare has put together a team of skilled care and business professionals nationwide. At present the company has created six jobs in Enniscorthy and that number is expected to grow to around 20 by the end of 2024.
Platinum Homecare is forecasting an additional 250 new carer, care and regional manager positions across Ireland within the next 12 months, contributing to the economy while addressing the critical need for enhanced home care services.
Minister McGrath stated; “Platinum Homecare’s ambitious plan to create 250 new jobs in Ireland is a testament to their commitment to transforming home care services in our country. This initiative will benefit our economy, the healthcare system, and, most importantly, the families who need these services. By enabling individuals to age gracefully in their own homes, Platinum Homecare is not only empowering our aging population but also reducing the strain on our healthcare facilities.”
Ed Murphy, founder and Chair of Platinum Homecare, stated; “Our goal is to fundamentally change the home care model, making it more effective, personal, and technology driven. We are proud to play a vital role in the evolution of home care services in Ireland.”
