5 Activities You Wouldn't Expect to do as a Support Worker
How many jobs are there where you can get paid to do great activities such as a trip to Alton Towers? There are lots of misconceptions around care, with the assumption that the career is always remaining in the home and supporting the children and young people there. This is obviously a key aspect of it and it can be challenging, but there is so much more to working in care at WG!
