Position

Organisation
Jack and Jill is a nationwide charity that funds and provides up to 100 hours per month of in-home nursing care and respite support to families caring for children with severe learning disability often associated with complex medical needs.
Another key part of our service is end-of-life-care for all children within our age criteria, irrespective of diagnosis, empowering parents to take their child home to die at this most difficult time.
Following a successful pilot scheme in 2025, we have extended our service to include children up to seven years of age and we are also now offering counselling services to all Jack and Jill families.
In 2025, Jack and Jill supported 541 families across Ireland with in-home nursing and respite care. Today, there are 491 families under our care, and 3,247 families have been supported by Jack and Jill since 1997.
OUR CHARITY BOUTIQUES
Our 18 charity boutiques are not just retail outlets to raise money for Jack and Jill care, but also windows onto the local community. We ask people to Support Local / Donate Local / Shop Local / Volunteer Local with Jack and Jill in the knowledge that their support helps us to keep our vital service going.
