This can include helping people to carry out their daily tasks to take care of themselves, teaching new skills, providing emotional support, and ensuring they are living a fulfilled life.

Being a support worker can be a very rewarding job.
Even though the role can be hard and often challenging, making a positive difference to someone's life and helping them become more independent brings feelings of accomplishment and satisfaction.
It's a great career choice for those who enjoy a varied job role and lots of interaction with others.Some of the best parts of the job are sharing new experiences together, creating new memories and celebrating successes. You'll enable people to overcome their fears and challenges whilst helping them to build confidence and self-esteem.

When starting a support worker role, employers will often provide some form of training, especially for newcomers, which provides an insight into the roles and responsibilities of the job role.
