Dear James,

In my job as a Support worker I find my day to day work really fulfilling, it is enjoyable as I know I am making a difference in peoples lives.

I support people in their homes to go about their lives and I have a duty of care to these people. This means I am responsible for their needs. It covers people who are physically disabled and cannot look after themselves. These people may require assistance with personal care, safety, meals and other medical or physical needs. It is my responsibility to ensure that they are met. I also ensure that the way I do my job is fair and that I recognise equality, diversity, choice and independence at all times.

I regularly have supervisions with my team leader and this identifies any areas that are good but equally ones that need improvement. Also I reflect on my work activities and this allows me to improve my work practice by being critical of how I have previously performed. I have a personal development plan which outlines my goals and achievements and this is agreed with my team leader and locality manager. I am currently underway with a NVQ level 2 and have completed a career pathway with my assessor.

As a Support worker it is my duty to follow organisational and legal requirements and it is my responsibility to make sure I am up to date with all of these and to ensure my training is always up to date and not to undertake tasks I have not been trained for. I complete records on a daily basis explaining what I have done and if any changes have occurred then I record them and report it to my manager immediately.
I am trained very well and this training covers Health and Safety, Moving and Handling, First Aid, Communication, S.O.V.A., Food Hygiene and many others. It covers the main aspects of my role and gives me knowledge in these areas. We are also governed by the Care Quality Commission and follow the Care Standards and Social Care Worker Code of Practice.

Yours Sincerely
Jack

Bi.

    1.1 Within my care setting the service users all have a disability, some more severe than others, because of this they are classed as vulnerable adults whom are not always aware of how to take care of themselves. It is my responsibility to carry out a duty of care towards them such as, ensuring that they have their medication administered, ensuring that their personal hygiene is maintained and encouraged and to also ensure that any activities they wish to carry out are suitable and beneficial to them. A duty of care is a legal obligation in which I adhere to a standard of care. Within my care setting we have various procedures and checks we must carry out to ensure that we are providing a high standard of care to the service users. Such as, medication charts to be completed once the medication has been administered. Fire safety and health and safety checks are carried out on a weekly basis. Daily cleaning is carried out to ensure the setting is clean, which also prevents the spread of infection.…

    A2. As a carer you not only have a duty of care to the service user you support, but also other staff, your employers and members of the public. When you act in persons best interests you must do so with that persons consent unless they lack the capacity to understand that it is in their best interest to comply. For example when you support a service user to a doctors appointment and they will not allow the doctor to inspect their injuries, your duty of care to that individual dictates that you act in their best wishes and so may have to go against what the individual wants in order for them to get treatment. You should follow company policies and procedures concerning your duty of care and follow/write up risk assessments for any perceivable risks. You should also ensure that you always act to the best of your ability to be trustworthy, respecting service users dignity, with compassion and integrity to ensure they are safe.…

    So you're thinking of working in care? Well, I will explain what is meant by duty of care. Duty of care ensures that people are taken care of and we are under obligation to do this in the way that is required. This means that you need to be aware of things that may go wrong and taking the best steps to prevent it and make wise choices about the decisions that you make. Health and social care organisations have a duty of care towards the people that they look after. This basically means that the people within the establishment should be kept safe from harm. The safety, welfare and the interests of people using your service must be prioritised. Your employer also has a duty of care to provide working conditions that are safe and suitable for the service being delivered. It is my duty to take care of vulnerable adults and to ensure their needs and well-being are looked after. It is important to respect individuals bests interests by protecting them from any harm or abuse and avoiding any acts that could results in injury or distress. As a care worker I have an obligation to protect the residents that live or stay at Orchard court. The duty of care I have towards them is to ensure that their lives are made comfortable and receive a good quality of care. It is also essential that I report any mistreatment towards the residents. This is because I would be protecting them from possible harm or even injuries (which is part of the duty of care that I provide). In my role the best interests of the residents is always the main priority of all the care staff. \if I have reason to believe that a resident is not getting a good quality of care for their needs it is my responsibility to report it to prevent this from…
