“When I left school and university, I wanted to make a difference in the world. I love my job, and I really value feeling that I’ve made that difference.”
A Belfast-based social care worker is at the forefront of a new campaign stressing the value of social care and encouraging people to choose it as a career.The mum-of-two is a Senior Support Worker at L’Arche Belfast where for eight years she has been supporting adults, like Thomas, with learning disabilities to live a life without barriers.Thomas is a founding member of the L’Arche Belfast community and a keen athlete.
Rachael explained: "I am a key worker for Thomas who has Cerebral palsy , an intellectual disability, communication issues and quite a complex medical history so I look after him and oversee his care. "I find living my life alongside people who are marginalised greatly rewarding. When I left school and university, I wanted to make a difference in the world. I love my job, and I really value feeling that I’ve made that difference."
The Social Care Council will be telling real-life stories through video snapshots, case studies and podcast episodes to showcase the day to day role of social care and inspire those considering it as a career. As at the end of May 2023, the top four roles for registered social care workers were adult social care workers , domiciliary care workers , supported living workers and day care workers .
