Support workers play a vital role in providing excellent, safe and compassionate care. Dependent upon the clinical area they work in, they contribute to helping patients and service users with social and physical activities, personal care, mobility, mealtimes, booking appointments and many more skills and duties. They are at the heart of the high-quality care we provide.

Working with many different patient groups of all ages, the support worker role can also lead to a range of career opportunities. With the right support, those who exemplify the skills and core values essential to delivering high-quality, compassionate care could, and do, go on to become Dorset's future nursing, midwifery and allied health professionals.
