Working with someone who really gets you is so important.
Whether it’s recruiting the right support worker, helping you complete the support worker record of tasks to secure the hours you deserve, or matching you with a perfect support worker, I’m here to make the process straightforward and stress-free.
Click on the service you want to find out more about.
The ‘Support Worker Record of Tasks’ form (also known as SWROT) determines how many hours of support worker help Access to Work will award you.
Did you know that by default, the number of hours you can have a support worker for is capped at 20% of your own weekly work hours?
Do you know how to extend that to 100%?
ATW is quite flexible in many ways, but you really have to know exactly what to tell them when you’re trying to get more than just a few hours of support worker help a week.
I will consult with you on the details that will make all the difference to you and complete the ‘Support Worker Record of Tasks’ form.
Please note the turnaround time for completing the SWROT is up to 1 week, which factors in a meeting with you where we discuss your support needs and decide on the approach we’ll take with the form, making sure you have a realistic idea of your possible outcomes.
If you’re requesting unique equipment or specialist support workers, Access to Work may ask you to find 3 quotes for the specific support you’re asking for. The quotes you provide will determine the amount of money ATW will award you for support.
I'm on hand to make this process as smooth as possible. Drawing from my previous experiences, I can identify and secure quotes that reinforce your application and give you the best chances of getting exactly what you’re asking for.
It’s especially important to find specialist quotes if you want support workers who are not paid the minimum wage and who can genuinely meet your unique neurodivergent needs. Securing detailed and relevant quotes from specialists will strengthen your application and maximise the value of your ATW grant.
While I’m giving you a general overview of the Access to Work process on my website, people’s experiences will differ based on their unique circumstances. During a 1-hour meeting, we’ll look at anything in your circumstances and unique needs that might mean some extra preparations for you to ensure everything goes your way.
Knowledge is power, and knowing the exact steps you need to anticipate means you can make the most of your ATW grant. Why leave things to chance when £69,260 and your job’s future are at stake?
You can ask any questions you have - this consultation is all about you and giving you the knowledge you need to feel confident that you understand anything and everything about Access to Work.
