In 2009, I started for Claddagh Commission in an IRA with people who had high medical needs. From there, in 2011, I began to further my career in Management through the Agency. I had an IRA consisting of older folks who enjoyed the slower pace, while also managing a residence of a group at IRA who had challenges with behavior. I stayed in this role until I was asked by my director to take a step up and manage only one house and become the staffing coordinator for the whole agency, overseeing the relief staff and hiring progress for the agency. This position was filing call offs and open shifts at all 27 IRA and programs the Claddagh. When they merged with Sasi it became a HR role. I then over saw the payroll and overtime hours. I attended job fair to recruit new staff and call references.

Sasi never had this department and was disolved after a few months where I went back into managing until 2021. I decided to end my employment there and start fresh with my current position at People Inc. As a teamleader. While here there was been a lot of turnover and changes within the site. This is an on going challenge throughout this field. I would love an opportunity to become a part of the resolution and help from my current status in retaining the staff, seeing some reasons why good staff leave their positions and help to get new hires in open spots that could benefit individuals and employees.
