Hi , my name is Deborah , i am a support worker for mencap , and have been for the last 5 years , I work with adults who have learning disabilities and quite complex needs , but I have to say ⌠yes there are days when it would be quite easy to throw in the towel and walk away , but those days are rare ! ⌠itâs a great job which offers fantastic opportunities for myself and the people who I support , one last thing âŚ
I also have a sister with learning disabilities who lives in mencap supported living , so I am in a unique position of being both support staff and a relative as well .
