ADHD support workers and assistants for neurodivergent people
Practical support for neurodivergent people, including ADHD professionals, with planning, organisation and everyday work. We support people who have, or think they may have, ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia or dyspraxia, as well as people with other neurodivergent experiences. You don’t need a diagnosis to contact us.
Find the route that fits your situation
If you already have an Access to Work award, we can help you find a support worker for the help it covers. You’ll also find help with applications and renewals here, support for employees and a separate business administration service.

Already have an Access to Work award?
Looking for your first support worker or thinking about changing provider? We can talk through your award, the help you need and how you’d like to work with someone.
Help with your own working day
Get help with planning, tasks, meetings and emails. Find out about support with an existing award, applying or renewing, or paying privately. You don’t need a diagnosis to contact us.
Support for someone you employ
A support worker can work alongside an employee on planning, deadlines, meetings and other agreed tasks. Ask about employer-paid support or support within an existing Access to Work award.
Administrative help for your business
We help with inboxes, diaries, documents and routine follow-ups. You can ask about a piece of work or regular help, with the tasks and charges set out in a written offer.
Support that connects with the work you actually do
Our support workers and assistants help neurodivergent people with the practical demands of work, including planning and organisation. You bring the knowledge of your job; the support is built around helping you do it.
Some days, making a start is the hard part. On others, it’s remembering what came out of a meeting or deciding which deadline needs attention first. An assistant can work alongside you as you work through those demands.
Start with one part of your day
You don’t need to prepare a case before contacting us. A recurring difficulty, such as an inbox you keep putting off or meetings that leave you with too many loose ends, is enough to begin with.
Examples of working alongside you
- Talk through competing priorities and plan the next steps
- Break a difficult task into smaller pieces and work through them together
- Keep track of commitments, deadlines and follow-ups
- Prepare for meetings and record what was agreed
- Organise an inbox and work through draft replies
We agree the tasks with you. If Access to Work is paying, the tasks must fit the support your award approves.
Understand the support and the payment route
Access to Work
Access to Work is a government grant scheme for practical help at work. The Department for Work and Pensions decides the funding. We provide support workers and help with applications and renewals.
We can help before and during your application and, in some cases, after a refusal. If your award is coming to an end, we can help with the renewal and the support you’ll need next.
Paying directly
You or your employer can pay us directly for support. We’ll talk through the work, charges and terms before you decide. Read about paying privately or employer-arranged support.
