Register as Key Worker
Supporting Key Workers
Staffnests has been created by teachers to help Key Workers find accommodation across Ireland.
We believe teachers, nurses, doctors, gardaí, paramedics, pharmacists, CORU members and other key workers should live near the communities they serve. Creating a free profile allows you to view listings details and contact landlords and room renters.
Documents uploaded are only used to verify that you’re a Key Worker and are then deleted.
Student Key Workers are very welcome to join Staffnests to find student accommodation.
When registering, a dropdown menu shows a list of governing bodies. If your governing body is not listed or you’re not a member of a governing body, please select “other” or email info@staffnests.ie giving details of the properties/rooms you’re interested in along with details about who would be living in the accommodation.
Staffnests also includes a members’ noticeboard where Key Workers can say where they’re looking for accommodation or offer/request services such as tuition or home help.
