EXPERIENCE
2022 - Present
Disability Support Work
My role as a support worker has many important factors. My
key responsibility is to keep the child safe both mentally and
physically. To do so I have to be at high alert.
I have to memorise, write and follow any health plans. These
include medication plans, emergency care plans, and a
variety of different therapy programs (physio, OT, eating,
hydro, speech)
During these therapy sessions I often assist, learn and then
repeat by myself with clients if needed.
I administer many medications daily so tracking times,
reactions and progress of each client is very important.
Each individual client has different needs meaning that
different medical equipment is needed for each. Ensuring I
have knowledge of the equipment and how it is used is
essential. As well as keeping the equipment clean and
functioning.
During my time as a support worker both in schools and as an
independent worker I have had many amazing clients.
Everyday I come across many different disabilitys and
illnesses. These are the ones I have worked with so far:
•Cancer
•Tumors (benign)
•Lv4 Cerebral Palsy
•Lv5 Cerebral Palsy
•Albinism
•Epilepsy
•Microcephaly
•Dystonia
•Spasticity
•Autism
•Hearing impairment
•Sight impairment
