Community nurse

A support, or care worker works with individuals in all aspects of their day to day living, including social and physical activities, personal care, mobility and leisure activities. This might be in a care home, in individuals’ own homes or in the community. Workers who work in the community are sometimes called domiciliary carers, and their role often involves travelling to see several different people who all live in their own homes.

Mae gweithiwr cymorth, neu ofal yn gweithio gydag unigolion ym mhob agwedd o'u bywyd o ddydd i ddydd, gan gynnwys gweithgareddau cymdeithasol a chorfforol, gofal personol, symudedd a gweithgareddau hamdden. Gallai hyn fod mewn cartref gofal, yng nghartrefi unigolion eu hunain neu yn y gymuned. Mae gweithwyr sy'n gweithio yn y gymuned weithiau yn cael eu hadnabod fel gofalwyr cartref, ac mae eu rôl yn aml yn golygu teithio i weld sawl person gwahanol sydd i gyd yn byw yn eu cartrefi eu hunain.
