Description
These professionals work in the social area and are part of an interdisciplinary team. In particular, they are responsible for providing the required attention and care to people who need support in the activities of daily living (ADL), always considering their family and their own environments.
These professionals work mostly in the home of people who have some degree of dependency (whether temporary or permanent), but also care for people or families in situations of vulnerability or social risk. Specifically, the support tasks that each person will perform will be defined and adjusted according to the intervention objectives and established work plan, which considers their needs and their level of autonomy.
Thus, the interventions carried out by these professionals are always personalised and individual, although in some cases, such as when working for a Home Care Service, they usually serve several people from the same area.
In summary, these professionals¿ functions focus on caring for people and their caregiving environment (family and community) and on performing preventive, educational, welfare and socialising tasks.
