Shift patterns include, mornings, evenings, sleep shifts/waking nights and weekends/bank holidays. What are the people we support looking for in support workers? Ann: What I look for in a support worker is someone who is friendly and chatty as I love to chat, I am quite independent, but I like my staff to support me with things such as cooking & baking as I really enjoy doing things like this. I do a lot of the chores around the house such as Ironing the clothes and keeping my kitchen sparkling, although I can do a lot for myself, I still require staff to remind me of the risks. I enjoy going out in the community and shopping so you need to be prepared to do a lot of walking. One of my favourite things is watching the soaps of a night-time and like to talk with others abou
