How can this help me?
We recruit experienced non-medical helpers across a variety of roles to support your studies so you don’t have to! Our recruitment process includes referencing and CRB checking - all of our non-medical helpers hold relevant experience and qualifications, specific to their roles.
In addition to removing the hassle of recruiting non-medical helpers, our consultants will also handle administration of the process, leaving you to concentrate on your studies. We will be in contact with the Disabled Students Allowance Office (DSA Office); we will pay the support worker and invoice the DSA Office on your behalf.
Our consultants will focus on every aspect of your requirements for study support – taking the time to build knowledge and a personal rapport to understand your specific needs (and the relevant legislation).
Arranging non-medical help through Randstad HR Solutions
When you have completed your application for a DSA and had your funding agreed, you should then contact Randstad HR Solutions and be ready to provide a copy of your Needs Assessment Report (NAR) and your DSA Award Letter. As soon as we receive these documents we will begin the process of contacting our pool of non-medical helpers in your area and match these non-medical helpers to you, dependant on your needs and requirements. Your request will be dealt with in the strictest of confidence.
