Health jobs for Cork city

80 jobs were this week announced at Bon Secours Cork as part of plans to create 450 jobs within the hospital group.

New staff will include doctors, nurses and allied health professionals to support Bon Secours Health System’s continued investment in medical care across Ireland.

The jobs announcement was made on the same day, Tuesday, that the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Michael McGrath, launched Bon Secours Health System’s new strategy to 2025.

He said: “As we move into a period now tinged with optimism and hope, it is extremely encouraging to see Bon Secours Health System’s ambition for its healthcare services in Ireland at a time when the demand for innovative healthcare in our population continues to grow.

“Its expanding services will greatly benefit patients across Bon Secours Health System’s growing national catchment, and I welcome these new jobs as part of its bold new strategy and ongoing commitment to technologically-advanced medical care in Ireland.”

In January Bon Secours Health System opened new €10 million operating theatres in Bon Secours Cork, following the 2019 development of the Cork Cancer Centre as part of a €77 million expansion of that site.

Bon Secours Health System Group Chief Executive, Bill Maher, added: “The last few years have been marked by significant growth in our services but we are determined to continue to be dynamic and expand our offering further.”
