Support Worker

A support worker provides person-centred assistance that helps participants live safely, build independence and work towards their goals while respecting their choice, dignity and preferences. Key responsibilities include supporting daily living, community participation, communication, social skills and emotional wellbeing, and following behaviour support plans and professional guidance. Support workers encourage participants to develop skills and do things for themselves, maintain professional boundaries and confidentiality, collaborate with families and the support team, and accurately document progress, behaviours and incidents while reporting any safety or wellbeing concerns.
