As a dedicated Community Support Worker at Headway East London for over two and a half years, I provided comprehensive support to clients with acquired brain injuries. My focus was on enhancing their autonomy and independence in both home and community settings. I built trusting relationships through empathetic communication and personalised care, addressing unique needs and promoting long-term well-being.
