About Maura O'Callaghan:

Hi there!

I'm a mature person with twenty five years of experience working in the field of care. I'm based in the west of Ireland but moving to Edinburgh in four weeks. I have a Diploma in Applied Social Studies (3 years). 

Beyond my qualifications and experience, I'm a kind, responsible person dedicated to any role I have taken on in the past. Even though I have worked with people with learning disabilities for the last twenty years, I have always continued to work with children on the side because I get so much joy from this.

I'm a serious person and take my commitments seriously but when working with children one has to keep it light. I enjoy play, reading books, art and outdoor activities. 

Experience

  • Twenty years working with people with a learning disability in a residential setting
  • Five years working with children and teenagers in a residential care setting
  • One year working in a nursing home as a care assistant
  • Substitute teacher for primary school for six months

Education

My Qualification is in Social Care. The subjects studied are: Psychology, Counselling, Law, Art, Drama, Sociology, Group Dynamics to name a few
