Micro providers
Business support for micro providers
Micro providers are care and support services working the community they serve. They can be individuals, groups, voluntary or community organisations or small businesses. A micro provider has no more than five paid or unpaid full-time equivalent workers.
Due to their size, micro providers can offer a broad range of diverse, personalised and flexible support – from home care services, to support with exercise, social activities or employment.
Services can be purchased by people funding their own care, or those getting help through a personal budget from the council.
