Yes. You can choose to engage more than one support worker through Careseekers if that is what works best for your needs.
For some people, one worker is the right fit. For others, having more than one worker can make support feel more flexible, more consistent and easier to manage across different days, times or types of support.
Why might someone choose more than one worker?
There are a number of reasons why more than one worker may be the right setup.
You may prefer more than one worker if you:
- need support across several days or times
- want greater flexibility if availability changes
- are looking for more consistent coverage
- need different kinds of support at different times
- want to build a support arrangement that feels more sustainable over time
For example, one worker may be a strong fit for regular weekday support, while another may suit evenings or weekends better.
Do I have to choose only one worker?
No. You are not limited to one worker.
The right arrangement depends on your routine, your preferences and the kind of support you are looking for. Some people prefer one familiar worker wherever possible. Others prefer a small team so support does not rely on one person’s availability.
Can different workers help with different kinds of support?
Yes. In some cases, people choose different workers for different needs.
For example, you may prefer one worker for social support and community access, and another for personal care or regular in-home support. The most important thing is choosing an arrangement that feels practical, comfortable and right for you.
Is it better to have one worker or more than one?
There is no single right answer.
Some people value having one consistent worker who knows their routine well. Others value having more than one worker so they have greater flexibility and back-up if needed. The best option is the one that fits your circumstances and gives you confidence that your support will work well day to day.
What should I think about before choosing more than one worker?
If you are thinking about engaging more than one worker, it may help to consider:
- how often you need support
- whether your support needs vary across the week
- whether consistency or flexibility matters more to you
- whether different workers may suit different parts of your routine
- how you would like communication and expectations to work across the arrangement
A clear setup from the beginning can help support feel smoother and more organised.
Can I start with one worker and add another later?
Yes. Your support arrangement does not need to stay fixed.
You may begin with one worker and later decide that adding another worker would make things easier. This can be helpful if your needs change, your schedule grows, or you want more flexibility over time.
