Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Within my role of being a support worker I offer my support to multiple clients who reside at our accommodation. I offer support with things such as medical appointments, daily living tasks such as cooking and cleaning, helping clients with their personal letters and so on. I interact with clients daily by having scheduled 1-1 key working sessions.
As a support worker I also keep a record of clients confidential notes on what they complete on a day to day basis and store these accordingly. I am currently doing my level 2 apprenticeship in health and social care and completing this within my work hours.
