Our Support Workers can engage with people with learning disabilities in a variety of settings. This can be in homes, day care or drop-in centres. They are also experienced and well equiped to help out with people in hospitals or to visit clients in their homes.
Our learning disability support workers can help in:
- promoting health
- promoting well-being
They can work with clients to make sure they can eat well and get enough exercise as well as helping them to deal with hygiene issues. Our support workers are capable of identifying barriers that can be stopping clients from leading fulfilling lives as well as asserting themselves to make sure that, wherever possible, such barriers are removed.
Our support workers are experienced in working with people who struggle to communicate, or who are very withdrawn and do not want to interact with others. Their focus is on responding to the client’s needs and treating them with respect, helping them to live as independently as possible even in a care home setting.
Our support workers are able to make decisions independently when clients need immediate help, and they make the effort to get to know them as people so a relationship of trust can be built.
