KerieSue 0 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 I am new to the forum. I live in Oklahoma, and I am enrolled in the A/SS Directors course in August in OKC. I'm a married lady with two daughters. One daughter just graduated high school. The other daughter is going to be a sophomore in high school. I was an assistant working at another facility. I accepted a position as a director at another facility. The administrator hired me even though I am not certified yet as I do know most of the laws and procedures. Here is the dilemma: IT IS SO DISORGANIZED!! The lady who has been the acting director is very nice, but she's only been doing it for about 6 weeks. The actual director was let go for not being a "team player," I am told. However, she was not keeping up with her documentation or charting. The last charting I could find was back in Feb. of this year. I have to start from scratch, I feel like. Has anyone else been in this sort of position before?

heavenstar 0 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Congratulations on your new job! Your admin sees great potential in you and you are obviously capable of cleaning up the mess. The person who has been acting as the director---is she still working with you or are you by yourself? What I would do: Come in an hour early or stay an hour late and work on the files and documentation. I would make that a priority because it is so disorganized. I would find all the volunteers I could and have them come help-- either by leading activities while you work on the files, or helping you with the files. The good thing about starting from scratch: You can do it the way you want. Prove to your team that you are a good team player. Good luck!
