Our support workers also deliver personal care such as washing and dressing, assisting with eating and drinking if required.

The role of the support worker is an exciting opportunity to deliver positive change to the people we serve. This involves spending time observing and listening to service users and their families to identify any unmet needs we then develop strategies in order minimize the impact of behaviours that challenge. Working as part of the team, support workers play a vital part of a resident’s care.
