My work as a support worker looks different every day because I support each person based on their individual needs, goals, preferences and choices. It involves building trusting relationships, providing practical and emotional support, encouraging independence, and helping clients participate in their community and everyday activities. It can include assisting with personal care, appointments, household tasks, social activities, routines and skill development. It also means advocating for the person, maintaining their dignity, privacy and confidentiality, and creating a safe and inclusive environment. Most importantly, my work is about supporting people to have choice and control in their lives while helping them achieve their goals and live as independently and confidently as possible.
