What is a part time support worker?

Part time support workers are professionals who assist individuals with daily living activities, often in settings such as residential homes, community centers, or clients’ own homes. They typically work with people who have physical disabilities, learning disabilities, mental health issues, or other support needs, providing care, guidance, and companionship. Working part time means they have flexible hours and may work evenings, weekends, or specific shifts rather than a full 40-hour workweek. Their responsibilities can include helping with personal care, household tasks, social activities, and ensuring the safety and well-being of those they support.
