Sharon Quinn has recently joined Autonomie as Co-Ordinator for the Family Voice Hub. Many in the Autonomie family will already know Sharon as she is the mother of one of our young people, Niamh, and is a regular face at our events.
Sharon’s personal experience gives her a great insight into the journey and challenges that families face when looking after a family member with additional needs.
Sharon joins us with a career spanning retail and hospitality. In all these roles she has been responsible for managing teams of varying sizes up to 35 and has successfully led teams through complex and challenging work that could only have been achieved through great teamwork.
Sharon will also bring to the role her personal experience of engaging with all the statutory bodies and government departments that impact upon the life of our young adults and their families such as how to navigate through the PIP process, engaging with social workers or applying for direct payments.
Outside of work Sharon is married to Peter and as well as Niamh has another daughter Erin who is currently on her placement year at University and a dog, Charlie.
