A support request involving a deputy or case manager needs clear authority, an individual brief and agreed responsibilities. It does not establish service suitability or a particular operating model.
Clarify the brief and authority
Confirm who can instruct and approve the proposed arrangement, which activities are required, the support postcode and the intended timing. Ask for the current professional agreement and obtain appropriate advice about the authority and responsibilities that apply to the individual case.
Matching and service responsibilities
Happiest at Home helps source and match CarePals. Matching, the delivery of personal care and the direction of regulated activities are distinct roles. Before proceeding, ask who you will contract with, who will deliver and direct each activity, and what registration is required for that activity, organisation and UK nation.
Requests involving personal care, medication or specialist duties require a separate scope and suitability check. Ask for current contracts and evidence of the checks relevant to the proposed role.
Choice and continuity
The individual and professional can review suitable profiles and meet potential CarePals before support starts. We aim for a dedicated CarePal, or a small consistent team where appropriate. Availability, timescales, absence arrangements and responsibilities must be agreed for the specific brief. The same worker cannot be guaranteed for every visit.
