Care Network Ireland

What Care Network Ireland does

Care Network Ireland (CNI) is an Irish private, founder-owned healthcare recruitment agency headquartered in Carlow, County Carlow, that places nurses, healthcare assistants, multitask assistants, social care workers, and healthcare administrative staff into permanent and agency-hours roles across the Republic of Ireland. The company serves both public and private healthcare buyers — including HSE hospitals (e.g., South Tipperary elderly services), private hospitals, nursing home groups (Brindley Healthcare, Havenwood Retirement Village), and intellectual-disability care providers (Camphill) — and references a smaller occupational-health vertical for corporate/industrial clients in sectors such as Food and Agri.

CNI's core offering is a single recruitment service delivered through a proprietary three-step 'Matched Care Solutions' framework comprising Matching (aligning candidate skillsets to patient and facility needs), Monitoring (tracking progress in each placement), and Mentoring (developing placed candidates' core skills and career ambitions). The firm does not operate a proprietary technology platform; engagement is conducted via the founder/director's personal client visits, candidate interviews, and a Wix-hosted website that publishes job opportunities and accepts 'Request a Callback' inquiries from both candidates and client facilities. Operations are supported by a referral incentive scheme (€100 Oneforall Gift Card after referred candidates complete 1,000 hours) and a small Facebook presence.

Commercially, CNI generates revenue through placement fees charged to healthcare facility clients and agency-hour margins on temporary staffing, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The business is led by Director Miriam Doran, a qualified Human Resources Consultant with over 15 years of specialist healthcare recruitment experience. CNI is independently owned, with no disclosed institutional investors, subsidiaries, parent entities, or M&A activity; the company carries 11–50 employees, operates solely within Ireland, and maintains an active online job portal as its primary candidate-acquisition surface.
