Choose your support team
You can help us to choose the right workers for your team.
​
Things to think consider when choosing workers are:
- does the worker drive a car?
- is the worker local and can they get to you in bad weather?
- do they need special skills such as sign language or moving and handling
- what hobbies and interests do they have, such as swimming or cooking
