Understand the Needs and Goals

Start by having open and transparent conversations with your  client. Understand their unique needs, preferences, and long-term goals. This will help you tailor your services and create a personalised Service Agreement that meets their specific requirements.

‍

Define your Support Services

Clearly outline the services you will be providing. Be specific about the support you will offer, including the types of assistance, frequency, and any additional services like transportation or specialised care.

‍

Set Terms and Conditions

Include important terms and conditions, such as the duration of the agreement, notice period for termination, and any cancellation policies. Be sure to address confidentiality, privacy, and the use of personal information in your agreement.

‍

Establish Payment Terms

Detail the payment structure, including the agreed-upon rates, billing cycles and payment methods. Ensure that both parties are aware of any additional charges or fees that may apply.

‍

Outline both Parties Responsibilities

Clearly define the responsibilities of both parties in the Service Agreement. This may include the client's rights to request modifications to the services provided and the provider's responsibilities in delivering support in a professional and ethical manner.

Seek Advice (if necessary)
