Support Worker (Charity)

A support worker in a charity helps vulnerable individuals or groups to improve their quality of life. This could include supporting people with disabilities, mental health issues, homelessness, addiction, or other challenges. The role involves providing practical and emotional support, helping clients access services, developing independent living skills, and sometimes advocating on their behalf. Support workers often work closely with social workers, healthcare professionals, and community groups to ensure holistic care for their clients. It can be a highly rewarding career for those with empathy, patience, and a passion for making a difference in people’s lives. Work hours can include evenings or weekends, depending on client needs.
