“My favourite part of the job is meeting different people and supporting them in various aspects of their care needs. I feel that supporting someone in my job maintains their independence. Having a chat with people I go to, and being a supportive and listening ear, can make a difference in their day as well as mine. Also, being involved with people’s care needs is a highly rewarding job when you know you’ve done something well for that person.”
- Tracey, Support Worker
