about us

hello, we’re msw

We’re a family run company, and we started My Support Worker in 2019 for one simple reason: to help people stay independent and carry on living in their own homes.

Choosing someone to care for you, or for someone you love, is a very personal thing. So we’ll always start by listening. We believe the rights, dignity and independence of the people we support come first.

We want everyone we support to live with choice, dignity and independence. And we try to do it with compassion, respect and integrity, every single day.

Put simply, we want to give you good, flexible care that’s planned around you and what matters to you, so you have real choice, control and independence in your life.

our name

support is at the heart of it

See the S in the middle of our logo? It’s there for support, and it holds the whole name together. That’s how we think about what we do.
