Two of our exceptional team members in Co. Cork marked five years of positive impact and career growth with Odyssey in September.
๐ ๐ฆ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ป๐ผ๐น๐น๐ has been a mainstay at Slieveview Lodge throughout that time. Having started as a Social Care Worker, she progressed through the ranks and stepped into the role of Acting Deputy Manager this year.
โSineadโs practice is defined by how much she cares,โ says Slieveview Social Care Manager Liam Boland.
โAnyone can say they care, but Sinead has shown it countless times, often ringing or messaging about different activities and opportunities for the young people to engage with that she has come across, even when she is off; always volunteering to go and create experiences and memories with them, and being willing to come in and help out when things are difficult.
โSinead has always had this ability to go above and beyond for the young people. She is beloved by everyone in Slieveview because of this trait and she is a great support and resource for her co-workers also. Sinead sets and drives the standard here and we are very lucky to have her with us.โ
๐ ๐ข๐บ๐ผ๐น๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ started with Odyssey as a Relief team member in 2020. He became a Social Care Worker the following September and was promoted to Social Care Leader in 2024.
Omo is proof that a social care degree is not essential, having used transferable skills gained through a BA in Psychology & Sociology, along with hands-on experience, to progress professionally.
Unit Manager Kirsty Murphy speaks glowingly of the contribution he has made since Barra Lodge opened in July 2024.
โOmo has been instrumental to the stabilisation of the service and more importantly the sibling group in his care. He is always conscious of providing an active and homely environment for the young people in Barra Lodge.
โHis dedication has positively impacted all five children in our care, and he has built beautiful trusting relationships with them all.
โOmo goes above and beyond for Barra and has been an excellent role model on the floor for everyone heโs worked with as part of the team here. Omo, we are so happy to have you โ thank you for all that you do.โ
