Delegate Cheryl Snooks

Your HACSU workplace delegate

CHERYL SNOOKS

Disability Support Worker Mosaic Support Services

I SUPPORT clients mainly one on one with daily activities and encouraging them to be as independent as possible.

The main stream I'm in is 'knowhow', a stream that is about learning and independence. I've been in my current job for almost 10 years. Before that I worked in child care supporting children with additional needs, and prior to that I was a teachers aid. I became a HACSU member soon after starting my current job and I was nominated to be union delegate by one of my co-workers who saw some qualities in me that could make me a good delegate. As a union delegate I've had input into our EBA and was able to be a part of the Anna Stewart training. In the future I'd like to have a family friendly and understanding workplace as a lot of our workers have children. I'd also like the workplace to be all about the clients as the motto is 'living life my way'. In my spare time I'm a genealogist, and this is something I am very passionate about and love researching anyone’s family tree. COVID has made things hard as I had my sister's family move in with me and all the children had to get along, or in our case not get along.
