I've been working in a support worker role for the last three years, but I've known I love helping people since I was a teenager. In school, I volunteered at a local care home. I also did community service and got awarded for the same in my college, I knew I wanted to pursue a similar career, where I could foster relationships and help others by making their daily tasks easier to manage.'
Support Worker is much more than a work; it provides you a sense of purpose since your work is vital, It can be challenging, so we also need to have patience, compassion, and understanding in addition to talents. We help people in their own home and in the neighbourhood. We aid people in leading independent and fulfilling lives goals.
I would bring my communication, organisation and patience into this role. In my recent role, I worked in a home and community and residential support facility and met with a rotating group of patients. I organised my schedule to ensure I had enough time to meet with multiple clients each day.
I discovered organisational skills were an essential part of managing different patients' needs. I created a personal filing system for my notes and patient progress charts. This helped me create positive relationships, and it allowed me to assist my clients' needs effectively.'
