Established in 1951, the Central Remedial Clinic (CRC) is a voluntary organisation and national charity working with children and adults with disabilities. The voluntary sector provides 75% of the disability services in Ireland and, alongside a number of voluntary organisations and the Health Service Executive (HSE), the CRC works to provide a variety of services to children and adults with disabilities. We provide general disability services along with and in partnership with the HSE and the wider disability sector, and we also provide highly specialist national services not replicated elsewhere in the sector. Our children’s services have two main divisions:
- Regional general disability services in Dublin City and County that reconfigured and grew to five new teams under the new model of care in September 2021; and
- National specialist multidisciplinary services providing expertise to children with physical disabilities from every county in Ireland.
Our children’s disability network teams (CDNTs) work with parents and families to make a positive difference despite the challenges that can come with disabilities. We offer specific medical and clinical services for children, young people and adults with disabilities through the life cycle from birth to adulthood.
Our national specialist services team provides innovative medical and surgical interventions, therapeutic and assistive technology services to children and adults with complex disabilities and rare conditions. We use innovative medical and surgical interventions and evidence-based therapies to support children and adults to achieve their maximum potential.
At CRC Adult Services, we're transforming how supports are delivered for adults with disabilities. This is an exciting opportunity for a qualified Social Care Worker to play a key role in delivering innovative, community-based, person-centred supports that promote independence, inclusion, choice and meaningful life outcomes.
Working directly with adults attending our services, you will support individuals to achieve their goals, develop community connections, and participate fully in everyday life. You'll also contribute to the ongoing development of high-quality practice across our Adult Services team.
