I started working for the SFPA in Jan 2024 here in the head office in Clonakilty, Co. Cork.
I initially started as Clerical Officer in the Port Operations office and then, more recently I joined the Facilities team where I am based at our front desk, on Reception. My work is varied and no two days are ever the same.
My duties include; greeting visitors and members of the public as they arrive to the office, taking inbound calls that I then redirect around the organisation, document preparation and uploading to staff intranet, distribution of post, packages, equipment to colleagues, checking stationery supplies etc.
In addition to my day-to-day role, I am also a Fire Warden. Duties include checking fire safety equipment is in place and properly serviced, working with other Fire Wardens to co-ordinate fire drills during the year.
I really enjoy my job and I feel proud to work for in the public sector where I can serve the country and its citizens in my own small way.
