About Siobhan

Siobhan has been with Focus on the Child in Millcaster for 11 years. She is warm-hearted and generous but can be tough when necessary. She is passionate about the home she runs and although she cares a lot about the wider organisation, the home in Millcaster is her key concern. Her motto is “We’re here for the kids and the kids come first.”

Parents and relatives of the children at the home feel that Siobhan runs a friendly, homely organisation where the needs of the children come first.

On the administration side of things, Siobhan recognises that the home is not great at admin and systems. She personally doesn't like being tied to her office and hates dealing with paperwork and working on the computer. The organisation's administrative shortcomings have been mentioned in various inspection reports over the years.
