Workplace support worker recruitment
EqualEdge recruits and deploys highly skilled Workplace Support Workers (WSWs) to provide structured administrative and organisational support to employed disabled professionals across all sectors. Most placements are funded through Access to Work. Our model ensures that disabled professionals retain authority, autonomy, and control throughout the recruitment and selection process.
Role of a Workplace Support Worker
Within the Social Model framework, a Workplace Support Worker is a structural intervention that removes administrative and workflow barriers. The role is enabling rather than managerial.
- Administrative and document preparation support
- Professional note-taking in meetings and formal settings
- Diary and calendar management
- Task tracking and workflow coordination
- Executive functioning support
- Communication and correspondence assistance
- Project-based administrative coordination
Workplace Support Workers do not replace expertise, alter reporting lines, or make strategic decisions. Their purpose is to reduce structural barriers and enable sustained professional performance.
