Ireland is currently experiencing strong demand for experienced and qualified nurses across all areas of the healthcare system. From urban hospitals to rural care facilities, a wide range of nursing roles are available in every county – offering exciting opportunities for both local and returning professionals.
At the forefront of this surge in demand are highly trained Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs) who provide expert-level care, often in specialised fields such as mental health, chronic illness, or paediatrics. These roles are vital to managing complex patient needs with autonomy and leadership.
Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNSs) are also in high demand. These professionals bring advanced expertise in specific fields, mentoring others while delivering top-quality patient outcomes. ICU/Critical Care Nurses, with their essential roles in high-pressure environments, are urgently required across Ireland’s hospitals to support patients with life-threatening conditions.
In the surgical field, Theatre/Operating Room Nurses are needed to assist with pre-op, intra-op, and post-op care, ensuring patient safety and efficient surgical outcomes. Meanwhile, Paediatric Nurses offer essential care to children from infancy to adolescence and are critical across hospital wards and community health centres.
Oncology Nurses, who specialise in cancer care and support, and Mental Health Nurses (Psychiatric Nurses), who assist those managing psychological or emotional conditions, are both core to Ireland’s growing healthcare focus on holistic, compassionate care.
For those with leadership aspirations, roles such as Nurse Manager or Director of Nursing offer the chance to oversee units, shape care delivery, and manage staffing and policy. Community-based care is also expanding, with Community Nurses providing key support in homes, clinics, and residential facilities. And at the heart of the system, Registered General Nurses play a foundational role across all care settings.
