One of the key roles of a Tessellate Support Worker is to assist the young person with their daily goals. This can include helping them with their personal care routine, such as bathing, dressing, and grooming. The support worker is there to provide the necessary support and encouragement, ensuring that the young person feels comfortable and confident in their daily routine. Another important aspect of the support worker's role is to engage in recreational activities with the young person. This can involve going for walks, playing games, or participating in hobbies and interests that the young person enjoys. By engaging in these activities, the support worker not only provides companionship but also helps the young person develop new skills and interests.

This can include helping them navigate a computer or tablet, ensuring that they have access to communication tools, or setting up and troubleshooting any assistive devices they may use. By providing this technical support, the support worker ensures that the young person has the necessary tools to be independent and communicate effectively. In addition to direct support, the image captures the support worker providing administrative support. This can involve documenting progress, communicating with the young person's care community, and ensuring that all necessary paperwork is completed. By taking care of these administrative tasks, the support worker ensures that the young person's support plan is up to date and that all relevant information is shared with the care team. Customer service is also a crucial aspect of the support worker's role.
