**Health Care Assistant**
Support workers help with customer independence and quality of life.
The purpose of your role is to give the highest possible standards of support to individuals with moderate to severe learning disabilities.
This can range from supporting them to discovering new interests, reaching goals like traveling or holidays, and working positively with their families and friends. This will help individuals to engage in different leisure, home, or work-related activities, all according to their personal choice.
As a support worker, your responsibilities are varied and no two days are the same. As well as providing physical and emotional support you may be needed to help with household tasks and personal care as well as supporting individuals with healthcare needs, e.g. taking medication.
Everything you do will enable people to have choices about their own lives, providing flexible services that meet people’s needs, and always looking for the best way of doing things.
Day-to-day tasks
Your day-to-day duties may include:
- supporting people to wash and dress,
- supporting people to prepare and eat a nutritionally balanced diet,
- supporting people to mobilize,
- supporting people to live independently,
- making people feel comfortable,
- taking observations such as temperatures, pulse, respirations and weight,
- contributing to health checks,
- providing health promotion or health education to people.
In addition to the day-to-day tasks that a healthcare support worker would undertake, a senior healthcare support worker may:
- support people with personal care tasks, reporting to a healthcare professional when uncertain or when a matter needs to be escalated to someone with more knowledge or skill,
- contribute to supported outdoor activities,
- be an advocate for people with learning disabilities,
- contribute to personal assessments and planning care,
- help to monitor and report any safeguarding concerns.
Working environment
Healthcare support workers can work in a variety of settings with people who have a learning disability. These could include a specific healthcare setting such as an acute care facility, in specialist community teams, or in learning disability assessment and treatment units, mental health hospitals, general practice, care homes, and hospices.
