What will my Support Worker do for me?
At an initial meeting we will discuss your needs and agree a personalised support plan with you. This will set out the type of help your Support Worker will give you. It could include:
- Arranging repairs of appliances and for tradesmen to call
- Helping with budgeting, form filling and basic advice on benefits
- Carrying out minor repairs, such as changing lightbulbs and unblocking sinks
- Making appointments with doctors, collecting prescriptions and doing occasional shopping
- Arranging for adaptations to be carried out, such as handrails and bath seats
- Helping with moving home and resettlement
A Support Worker does not undertake personal care tasks such as helping with dressing, bathing and getting to the toilet. If you require this level of care, find out about our Home Care service.

What if my needs change?
Your support plan can be reviewed and changed if necessary. It is important to us that you get the support you need.
