Do you work in a shop and get energy from contact with people? Put your social skills to use for a meaningful career in disability care. As a support worker in training, you will learn the profession in practice and make a difference every day for people with an intellectual disability.

In a shop, you are used to helping people, listening well, and responding to different needs. Those skills are also of great value in disability care.

As a support worker, you support clients in their daily lives and personal development. You help with daily activities, provide structure, and encourage clients to be as independent as possible.

No day is the same. You work with different people, build a bond with clients, and contribute to their well-being and happiness. You are needed to offer clients confidence, attention, and guidance. With your positive attitude and understanding of people, you help them make the most of every day.

Within this traineeship, your development into a support worker is central. You combine working and learning and grow step by step into a professional support worker in disability care.
