What Is a Support Worker?

A Support Worker is a trained professional who assists individuals with daily activities, personal routines and community participation. Their role is to provide practical assistance while promoting independence, dignity and confidence.

At Angels on Wheels, Support Workers are carefully matched to each person’s needs and preferences.

  • Personal care and daily hygiene routines
  • Meal preparation and household tasks
  • Community access and social participation
  • Transport to appointments and activities
