What does being a support worker involve? No two days are the same at the Brothers of Charity's Knocknacarra-based programme, Beo Services, but every day is meaningful.
Meet Alex, one of Beo Service's Support Workers. Alex's day at Beo Services begins with the team planning personalised activities for each individual. This might involve assisting with personal care, preparing breakfast, or supporting someone to clean their apartment—all while encouraging independence.
Alex helps each individual that they support in making their own choices. This could mean attending a day service, enjoying a walk in the park, meeting friends, or even going to a local concert or community event. Whether it is a woodwork project or working in the garden, Alex ensures each person is empowered and listened to.
As a support worker, Alex plays a crucial role in enabling individuals to live independent, fulfilling lives. Alex's work has a lasting impact on the people they support, and they are a vital part of the Beo Services team.
What the staff at Beo Services say about their work:
“I love knowing the people I support are active members of their community. The team at Beo is always supportive, and there's a welcoming environment for both staff and those we support.” – Tina, Support Worker
