In an array of different settings, support workers play a fundamental role. This allows the people who rely on them to have a positive experience. In addition they ensure people get the care and attention they require.

What Can They Do

There are many areas in which a support worker plays a role that is valued and vital for a lot of people. In areas like hospitals, residential homes, and independent living, they can be a helping hand to rely on. At various times of the day they will complete their duties. This might include helping with personal care or supporting people while they pursue hobbies and interests.

These workers need to be knowledgeable and skilful, as well as having fantastic people skills. They need to understand how to work with the vulnerable and those with specific needs. It can involve practical help along with emotional support. While the role varies between sectors, the general duties remain similar. This can include working with other professionals to ensure that the individual gets all of the help that they need.

As well as being a professional, support workers need to be friendly and must have a good attitude. This is particularly important when dealing with challenging behaviour.

The main focus of a support worker should be to provide people with the care that they require to better their quality of life. This includes giving help to people from all walks of life and catering for various needs. Examples include the terminally ill, dementia sufferers, and those with learning disabilities.
