Mags chats to Fiona O’Neill – Count on Us Recruitment

As a carer you cannot be engaged in employment, training or education courses outside the home for more than 18.5 hours a week*
“I am proud to say that I am a Family Carer. My son lives with a number of medical conditions and diagnoses. The level of care he requires means that even if I wanted to, I cannot work full time. I decided I wanted to help people in a similar situation to me.”
Then Count On Us Recruitment was born.
