About the Personal Support Worker Role

• Helping individuals to live their lives to the fullest, encouraging them to try new things, learn new life skills, connect with their communities, and live an ‘ordinary’ life.
• Providing quality personal care, which could include bathing, toileting etc. depending on individual needs, while maintaining respect and sensitivity
• Participating in household tasks, which include cleaning, cooking, ironing, washing etc. while encouraging the individuals we support to join in
