Provide companionship, helping people to feel less isolated

Record the care and support you provide, the feedback from the people you support, and any important information that helps your peers and manager continue to deliver excellent care and support
Report and record any concerns you have about a person's well-being
You will support individuals to take part in activities that are meaningful and enjoyable to them, based on their personal interests and choices. This may include activities that you would not normally choose yourself, a willingness to participate in a wide range of activities and provide person-centred support is an essential part of this apprenticeship.
