Day Activity Facilitator in Limerick

Posted: Today

About the Role

Corlann is the new name for Brothers of Charity Services Ireland. Corlann draws inspiration from cor, the Latin word for heart, and lann, the Irish word for place. Together, they express a powerful idea: that heart is at the centre of everything we do, and that our purpose is to create a place of belonging for every person we support. Corlann symbolises our determination to shape a vibrant, progressive future for our services, and to advocate tirelessly so that the people we support can shape their own lives. Our name embodies our ethos, our culture, and the foundation on which we continue to grow.

Corlann provides services to more than 6,000 people each year who have an intellectual disability, including those who also have autism. Funded under Section 38 of the Health Act, we remain deeply committed to a person-centred approach—one that honours each individual’s strengths, aspirations, and rights. Our aim is always to provide, as far as possible, personalised supports that empower people to identify and achieve their own life goals, and to live as valued, equal, and active citizens in their communities.
