Support work is more than providing support to someone who\nneeds it. Quality support is found on mutual respect and a trusted, genuine connection\nbetween people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <em>Hearth,<\/em> Support Workers and Participants are matched in terms\nof their geography, personality and skills. Rather than providing a blanket solution to support,<em>\nHearth<\/em> realises all Participant needs are different, including their\nsituations and support networks. In the same way we are all unique, <em>Hearth<\/em>\naims to individualise every aspect of support possible. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What differentiates support work at <em>Hearth<\/em> is a goal-oriented approach\naround driving individual levels of Participant independence. Goal setting is\npowerful because it provides Participants and Support Workers a platform to set\nand develop goals and track their progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Support Work is always rewarding, it can also be tough. Particularly when Support Workers and Participant families aren\u2019t seeing visible progress. While a goal-centered approach to support work is not mandatory, it is clearly valued by <em>Hearth<\/em> Support Workers and families. In a recent survey, Support Workers were asked to share their proudest moments whilst working at <em>Hearth<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>62% of <em>Hearth<\/em> Support Workers detailed their joy in seeing and partaking in each Participant\u2019s progress. Their responses focused on tackling goals, working towards independent activities and implementing their own teachings. Each response was anecdotal, considered and imitated their joy in experiencing these moments with Participants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Support Workers also commented on an appreciation for their working relationships at <em>Hearth.<\/em> These Support Workers cherished seeing their Participants happy in themselves and the level of support received themselves. There was a focus on connections formed with Participants, their families and <em>Hearth<\/em> Relationship Managers who often act as a sounding board for Support Workers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A number of<em> Hearth<\/em> Support Workers associated their proudest moment with personal growth and career development. These Support Workers emphasised their own learnings from Participants, their families and the impact support work has had on their lives.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Hearth <\/em>Support Workers are a prime example of how perseverance and a commitment to support work pays off. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We took a moment to reflect on the hard work of our Support Workers and asked them what their proudest moment was working at Hearth. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1249,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,102,1],"tags":[217,218,219,220,221,222,65],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.2 -
