Support Worker Service

Do you need extra help at home?

We now have a number of Support Workers who can provide flexible help for you with things like shopping, housework, company, companionship and trips out, and appointments. One of our Support Workers, tells us what it's like to be a support worker:

"I work with a number of different people and I'm really enjoying it. I do housework for a couple of families who find that the task of caring for their loved one has meant that they don't have the energy or time to do hoovering or polishing. I also take clients to the cinema, the hairdressers or to the beauty salon, and even trips to Crayford Dogs. I have taken someone with dementia to Vintage Lindy Lou's in Crayford, and on trips to local parks. I regularly take a lady with dementia to get her nails done, which she loves. I also take some clients out in my car. I help with preparing and cooking meals as well as taking people out for coffee. What I love about being a Support Worker is no two days are the same. I feel like I help a lot but I also get a lot back."

Subject to availability, our support workers are able to offer evenings and weekend sessions. This flexibility can allow the carer to attend a social occasion in the evenings or at the weekend. All our support workers have been checked by us and have enhanced disclosures from the DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service).

The cost of the service is £18.50 per hour
