At Neighbours Inc., the people we work for are not "clients", they are Employers! Everyone who receives a pay check from Neighbours Inc.works for the employer. Makes sense, right?

That is why it is so important for us to listen to what the people we support have to say.

Most off the people we support have "Personal Assistants" to support them with daily life. Some people need an assistant for a few hours a week. Others need support around the clock, every day.

Advisors work with the people we support and their Support Circle to determine what kind of support that will be needed.

Then the Advisors, with the support of Neighbours Inc Management Team., help people recruit and hire their own Personal Assistant staff. When someone is hired, it is made very clear just who the boss is.

It is a big job to be an employer so Neighbours Inc. Advisors and Management Team support people with all of the issues that come with being an employer.Things like:

• scheduling
• conflict resolution
• health and safety isssues
• back up plans
• communication issues
• training

Our Finance team takes care of all of the accounting needs that go with employing staff.

And when necessary, we support people through the process of firing staff.

We are always working to find ways that the people we support can remain in charge of their life.
