My responsibilities included implementing policies, ensuring regulatory compliance, managing property acquisitions, and leading HR and recruitment efforts. This role allowed me to leverage my strategic planning, problem-solving, and team-building skills to enhance service quality and operational efficiency.At Fairport Care, I played a pivotal role in organizing and structuring a nascent company, improving health and safety protocols, financial controls, and staff training. My leadership in aftercare services facilitated young people's transition from care to independent adulthood, emphasizing multi-disciplinary collaboration and tailored support plans.My career began in social care with Nua Healthcare and Autism Initiatives, where I provided essential support to individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism. These roles required strong interpersonal skills, patience, and the ability to manage challenging behaviors effectively.I hold a B/A Honors Degree in Youth & Community Work from South East Technological University, and I have completed various professional training programs, including supervision skills for social care managers, emergency first aid, and autism awareness training.Returning to Ireland, I am eager to apply my comprehensive skill set and leadership experience to high-level management positions, driving organizational success and positively impacting the communities I serve.
