- We collaborate with the Client/Participant to build a long-term sustainable support team, nurturing a partnership with the right Support Worker/s who really know the Participants goals, interests, and passions
- Ensuring the foundations of support are the right human connection.
- Hearth invests time and resources to find the right Participant Support Worker match.
- To build a long-term sustainable support team it is important with higher support needs that capacity, balance, and flexibility is built into the support team.
- Established support team Support Worker hours of work do not necessarily indicate any further capacity.
- For long term sustainable support, the Hearth approach is to build the right capacity, balance, and flexibility into the team with a blend of students and career Support Workers.
- As an example, Allied Health University students are impressive Support Workers, however a support team comprising only Allied Health University students would not be sustainable due to the impact of university commitments such as placements.
