What is a Support Worker?

October 16, 2025

A support worker is a professional who helps individuals live as independently and safely as possible. Their work often involves supporting people with physical disabilities, learning difficulties, mental health conditions, or age-related challenges.

Support workers are not just there to provide practical assistance—they also offer emotional support, advocacy, and guidance to help people improve their quality of life.
