Direct Payment Support Service

Having a Direct Payment gives you the opportunity to purchase your own support. This could mean paying for activities in your community or employing your own support staff. We can:

  • Explain what a Direct Payment is and how it can work for you or your loved one.
  • Help you to recruit and employ your own support staff.
  • Signpost you to other helpful organisations.
  • Provide a payroll service and /or manage your Direct Payment money for you.
  • Support you to manage your staff and your Direct Payment.
  • Introduce you to other people who use Direct Payments for mutual support.

We have various helpful factsheets explaining how Direct Payments work:

My father, aged 86, suffered a stroke and I contacted Ruils for advice. Having talked through the options, we decided that employing a Personal Assistant to help with the shopping, cooking and cleaning would be a good solution.
With Ruils' help we found an experienced Personal Assistant Dad really liked. Ruils helped us to draw up an employment contract and organised insurance and payroll. Having a Direct Payment & the support of Ruils has enabled my parents to stay living at home.
