A care worker supports people who need assistance with daily living, personal care, wellbeing, independence, or social activities. Responsibilities vary according to the individual's needs and care setting.
It is suitable for aspiring care workers, care assistants, support workers, carers, residential care staff, domiciliary care workers, volunteers, and individuals considering a career in health and social care.
No formal experience is required for this introductory course. Previous experience in caring, volunteering, healthcare, or support services may be helpful but is not essential.
You will explore person-centred care, dignity, privacy, communication, safeguarding, health and safety, infection prevention, wellbeing, professional boundaries, record keeping, and supporting independence.
Person-centred care focuses on the individual rather than treating everyone in the same way. It considers personal preferences, needs, choices, values, abilities, and desired outcomes.
Dignity helps ensure people are treated with respect and sensitivity. Care workers should protect privacy, encourage choice, communicate respectfully, and avoid actions that could unnecessarily cause embarrassment or loss of independence.
Safeguarding involves protecting people from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and avoidable harm. Care workers should recognise concerns, follow organisational procedures, and report issues through appropriate channels.
