Ethos
‘We are committed to working with people with an intellectual disability to claim their rightful place as valued citizens. Inclusion is a fundamental principle that underlies all aspects of our work. We believe in the intrinsic value of every person and we aim to further the dignity of all associated with our services.’
‘We continue the Brothers of Charity Services’ tradition of being open to the best contemporary influences. We want to be inspired by the most creative ideas …and to ask how we give them concrete expression.’

WHO WE ARE
The Brothers of Charity Services Ireland South East Region (BOCSISER) is one of 5 regional services operated by the Brothers of Charity Services Ireland (BOCSI).
Across the region, the BOCSISER provide a range of residential, day, respite, assessment and clinical services to individuals with varying degrees of intellectual disability and dual diagnosis, many of whom have additional challenges including autism, behaviours that challenge and those with physical and sensory disabilities including epilepsy.
We aim for excellence in service provision and to this end, we integrate the best of current research and knowledge to promote partnership with those people who choose our services, their families and local communities and the statutory authorities.
We promote advocacy and accountability in all areas of our services and support each individual’s dignity and human rights.
Services are delivered through a number of service areas located in each area.
The South East Service is managed by a Director of Services supported by a Service Executive made up of Senior Managers and Heads of Department.
The services are divided into three areas namely Waterford, South Tipperary and Kilkenny/Wexford. Each area is managed by a Regional Services Manager who reports to the Director of Services.
The Services also have a multidisciplinary team consisting of Consultant Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Social Workers, and Speech and Language Therapists.
