If the arrangement does not feel suitable, you can explore other workers who may be a better fit.
Why might someone change support workers?
There are many reasons why someone may decide to work with a different worker.
For example:
- the worker’s availability may no longer suit your schedule
- the support arrangement may not feel like the right fit

- you may simply prefer a different working style
Changing workers can be part of finding the arrangement that works best for you.

This can help you understand what works well for you and what kind of support feels most comfortable.
Over time, many people find a worker who fits their routines, preferences and support needs.
How can I decide if a worker is the right fit?
It can help to think about:
- how comfortable you feel with the worker
- whether communication is clear and respectful
- whether the worker understands your routines
- whether their availability suits your schedule
- whether the support arrangement feels reliable
These factors often matter just as much as experience.
What should I do if I feel the arrangement is not working?
If something does not feel right, it can help to reflect on what is not working and what you would prefer instead.
For example, you might consider:
- whether you need different availability
- whether you would prefer a different communication style
- whether you need a worker with different experience
- whether your support needs have changed
Understanding what you are looking for can make it easier to choose a worker who better suits your needs.
