The support worker role

Support work is about somebody else's independence rather than your efficiency. You are there so an adult with a learning disability, autism or a mental health condition can run their own day, with as much or as little help as that takes.

The work sits in supported living flats, in shared houses and out in the community. Some of it is personal care. A lot of it is cooking, budgeting, appointments, buses, college and the argument about whose turn it is to do the washing up.
