Microprovider Advice and Support Programme
Since its introduction the microprovider advice and support programme has seen over 50 Micro Providers complete the programme enabling them to support over 125 individuals across Devon.
Here’s what just a few of them said about the programme.
“Thanks again Simon for your time and invaluable advice and support. If anyone is starting out, or even been providing care and support for some time, I can’t recommend the Microprovider programme enough. If you want to ensure your service is safe, professional and compliant with current best practice as well as advice around promoting and developing your business I would encourage anyone to get in touch with Simon for a chat”
Jon Stitt (Newton Abbot)
“Thank you Simon for all the support, encouragement and assistance you offered to help me set up. I appreciate it. Yes, I’m up and running now and can’t wait to put all the knowledge and experience I’ve gained over the years into supporting those that come my way.
Thank you again Simon!”
Ken Enyiazu (Cranbrook)
“Thank you very much Simon for giving me the break that was indeed needed it definitely has been a life changer for me, my family and the clients I support much appreciated”
Bonnitta Thorpe (Exeter)

Can’t thank you enough for your thorough approach and ability to frame the stages in such an accessible way for new microproviders and PA’s”
Gina Awad (Exeter)

Sue Snape (Ottery St Mary)
“Thank you Simon for the knowledge this course has given me. It was a pleasure working with you. Recommend to anybody else!”
Natasha Morden (Ipplepen)
“Thank you so much for the amazing opportunity to do the course with you and to get the knowledge I have learnt with you. I have learnt so much and you helped me build my portfolio to a high standard. I look forward to using the knowledge and skills you have shown me to continue to achieve a high standard of care in the community.”
Kelsea Godfrey (Exeter)
“I knew I wanted to become a self-employed carer but did not know how to go about it. I then accessed a Community Catalyst program, which supported me in setting up my own enterprise. Simon took me step-by-step through the necessary policies and procedures, explained the legal context including taxes and discussed promotion and marketing. There was time to reflect on values such as confidentiality and safeguarding and I did all this all at my own pace .The course gave me the confidence to be more professional and to launch my business.”
Dani De Beaumont
“Going through the Community Catalyst’s training helped me to widen my knowledge of care’s legislations and create a more professional approach with new and established clients. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to follow this path”.
Marco Mazza
“Just want to say thank you for your help and time over the last few weeks.
Without your help and guidance I wouldn’t have had the confidence to become a microprovider (P.A.) Your programme structure was very helpful and easy to work through, and the follow up emails were useful when I needed encouragement or reminding of what I needed to do, to make sure that my micro enterprise is set up in the correct way.”
Linda Roberts
“Simon convinced me of the value to me and my clients of getting my business organised. He was right! Getting my portfolio together has given me a much better understanding of the responsibility i have to my clients in regard to their safety, well being, privacy and rights to confidentiality. He helped me find the right insurance to suit my needs and put me onto NACAS who helped me get my enhanced DBS. I now feel much better equipped and knowledgeable to provide my clients with the professional service they deserve.”
