A day in the life of a Support Worker at Step Up…
What sorts of things will you be doing as a Support Worker with Step Up?
It’s fair to say that no 2 days will be the same! An individual’s Support Plan outlines the keys areas of support as:
- Budgeting – this could be sitting down with a young person to work out their weekly outgoings or helping them do a weekly shop or applying for relevant benefits.
- Employment – this could be helping them to access employment opportunities through local employers or training providers – or even helping them fill in an Application Form or write a C.V.
- Lifestyle – this could be about helping them engage in building new relationships and making new friends, encouraging them to take up a hobby or join a group in something that interests them or helping them establish structure and routine within their daily life.
- Legal Issues – this could be helping them by attending an appointment with a legal advisor, with legal paperwork or even accompanying them to court.
- Health & Wellbeing – this could be helping them make positive health choices, accompanying them to the doctor/dentist or managing health concerns.
- Home Management – this could be anything from helping them to personalise their tenancy, maintaining their tenancy to a good standard as well as being a good neighbour.
