Can you see yourself being responsible for the well-being of others? The need for care workers is increasing as our population ages. A role in personal support will see you providing support to clients and their families that need assistance; whether elderly, disabled, or recovering from a serious illness or injury. Your job will be to assist individuals with their daily routines, including preparing meals and feeding, maintaining personal hygiene, running errands, monitoring medication and recovery, and informal counselling support.

Testimonial

I had been out of the education system for over 30 years when I enrolled at Eastern College. Arriving nervous but excited, I was at once made to feel comfortable and welcome. I did pick 'the right career' and the right school for the job.
