Personal support workers (PSWs) are what are referred to as unregulated health care providers. This simply means that there is no governing body which sets standards for the skills and knowledge needed to practice. As a result, the skills, accreditation and supervision of PSWs can vary widely in Canada. This critical job description includes managing daily tasks for people who are suffering from illness, injury or dealing with the effects of aging.
