Personal Development Plan

A career in social work or human services is similar in the duties and type of work environment. Both of these positions require a desire to help others in many ways. Human Services Assistants may help clients with special needs obtain the services that will help them to develop and improve their situation. Social workers are considered human services workers, only they typically perform more hands-on duties with clients (BLS, 2012a).

Mrs X wants to go to bed at 22.00 hours every night One night we were short of carers for the night shift, so I put her to bed early, her son came to visit and complained, and asked me to
