Support Worker

Support workers play a vital role in assisting people who need extra help to live independently, such as those with learning disabilities, elderly individuals, or people with physical or mental health conditions. Their duties often include helping with daily activities like washing, dressing, and preparing meals. Support workers also provide emotional support, encouragement, and help clients participate in social activities or access community resources. The role can take place in a variety of settings, such as clients' homes, care homes, or supported living environments. It requires patience, empathy, good communication skills, and a genuine desire to make a positive difference in people's lives.
