The focus of this service is to provide support to people in their own home, matched to their needs.

​

Support workers wear many ‘hats’ such as promoting independence, supporting with home based or community activities, maintaining safety or usually a combination of roles.

 

We offer support packages from a minimum of 12 hours per week.

 

Support shifts are a minimum of 4 hours.

 

We provide a service tailored to each individual referral from

• recruitment only

• recruitment and part-management

• recruitment and full management of the package.

 

We know clients want, and need, the best support workers, so we have a robust recruitment process, provide a high level of mandatory and bespoke training with a strong clinical focus, robust supervision, pay a higher than average wage and offer fixed hours contracts to reflect the specialist nature and calibre of support workers.
