Support Worker, Community Health

Our Support Workers provide social support in their local community for people affected by Cystic Fibrosis. A Support Worker is our first point of contact with clients in their area, responding to requests that are often for help to acquire home improvements, disability related benefits or just someone to talk to. Support workers can also be trained to provide advocacy if they wish to be more challenged, learn new skills or perhaps make good use of those they already have.

The use of a car is essential in order to travel to a client's home.
