The My Ability Podcast - The Working Life of a Support Worker - Paul Burgess

In this episode, we’re joined by Paul Burgess, one of our Senior Support Workers at My Ability, to discuss his journey into the health and social care sector later in life. Paul shares how working closely with individuals with autism and disabilities has completely changed his understanding, challenged his perspectives, and helped him develop new skills and approaches. We explore how these experiences have influenced his personal life, particularly his journey into the fostering system, and how the knowledge, patience and understanding he’s gained through My Ability have helped him adapt to supporting children in a completely different environment. An honest conversation about personal growth, breaking down misconceptions, and how it’s never too late to learn something new or make a positive difference in someone’s life.
