In my first couple months, I will be travelling Ireland listening to the issues and concerns of our members and of the carers who work for our members. I relish the challenge to ensure we, as an industry, continue to provide excellent care in the homes of our loved ones.”

As part of his role, Joseph will work with the Government and other stakeholders to try to bring regulation on a statutory basis for home care in Ireland. A key area will also include encouraging the development of caring as a career, and communicating this to key Government Departments.

Whilst at Burson-Marsteller, he worked as a Director in New York where he was the Project Lead for the firm’s transformation and modernisation programme. In addition, he worked with clients to manage their corporate reputation and provided crisis communications advice to a leading management consultancy.

Prior to this, he acted as Chief of Staff to the Worldwide President in London to strengthen and grow the organisation across all regions and practices, and advised international clients. This included working with the firm’s senior leadership to design a new global strategy and new business process. Before joining Burson-Marsteller, he worked with the PR agency Weber Shandwick in London.
