Stirling, United Kingdom Caring Hearts Ltd Full time

The best way of summing it up is that we might perform the tasks carried out by a close friend or relative but in a trained, professional and knowledgeable way.In order to do this successfully, the Support Worker must be aware of the needs and requirements of the client and must communicate successfully not only with the client but also with other stakeholders such as family, friends and other healthcare professionals.

The Support Worker also has a responsibility to alert their line manager of any changes or causes for concern in the client’s condition or behaviour.There will be a set of outcome specific tasks identified for each particular client you attend to. These will range from simple day-to-day tasks like housekeeping or assistance with personal care to more complex tasks like medication administration. Support Workers are frequently the only people that a client may see on a daily basis and there is a responsibility to report any relevant information back by notifying management, family, friends or relatives of changes.
