What is a Support Worker ?

'Support Worker' is a role to describe someone who provides support to a dyslexic or disabled client to facilitate equal access to education or work. Such a support worker is also often referred to as a 'non-medical helper'. Some clients require a support worker for a few hours a week, whilst others may require more.

Support work is very varied. There are a number of worker roles which can be undertaken by a support worker some of which require specialist qualifications.

We can offer support workers:

  • Flexible working hours
  • Regular payment (with statutory deductions for tax, NI etc)
  • Guidance and training

If you are considering becoming a support worker with Clear Links Support Ltd, or are working with us, please read the Service Level Agreement and Data Protection documents as these will give you important information about your responsibilities as a worker and also those of Clear Links Support Ltd.

Once you are working with us please take the time to read the handbook for support workers which includes information on the role of the support worker, guidelines for working as a support worker, working practices, disability awareness and procedures plus any guidelines for the specific worker role you are undertaking. These guidelines have evolved from the experience of people working in the field and contain practical advice for effective ways of delivering support work. We welcome any input and feedback from our workers which may help in developing these guidelines.
