In this blog, we will see the roles you can step into after gaining the CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support with AET.
1. Worker in Aged Care Support
A common and rewarding career outcome is an aged care support worker. As an aged care support worker, you will provide personal care assistance, mobility support, meal preparation support, and meaningful social engagement to older people with their daily activities. In today’s climate, the demand for qualified aged care professionals is greater than it has been in the past. Aged care is a guaranteed, secure avenue for employment over the long term, especially in light of the increasing elderly population.
2. Worker in Disability Support
If you like to encourage independence and empowerment in others, then being a disability support worker might be the career for you. As a disability support worker, you will provide support to people with disabilities in their home, community or other supported accommodation services. The CHC33021 qualification will give you a range of practical skills and knowledge to safely provide person-centred support with confidence in an NDIS-funded disability environment.
3. Home Care Worker
The area of home care is among the most rapidly expanding in community services. As a home care worker, you will support clients to be as independent in the home setting as possible, whether through assistance with personal care, cleaning, medication reminders or getting involved with community activities. Home care is flexible and independent, and allows you to develop incredible, meaningful, professional relationships with clients.
4. Personal Care Assistant (PCA)
Many of our graduates choose to be a personal care assistant in aged care facilities, disability services and/or community organisations. PCAs play a significant and essential role in ensuring each client is improving their wellbeing, comfort in their living service and daily quality of life. The practical training at AET helps ensure you feel equipped and confident to provide safe, respectful and professional care from day one.
5. Community Support Worker
If you like to have variety in your position, working as a community support worker allows you to do some client support time, some social engagement time, and some community support time. Sometimes you may assist clients in attending appointments or programs, or connect with different services – sometimes independent of you. This position is suitable for a person who likes to move from one place to another, is adaptable, and enjoys building connections with different clients.
