Can support brokers work as vendors or employees?

Support brokers can operate in both capacities—either as vendors or as employees—depending on the specific arrangements made within their agency or organization. This flexibility allows for a range of service models tailored to meet the needs of individuals receiving support.

When support brokers are employed within an agency, they often benefit from structured training and resources that can enhance the quality of support they provide. Conversely, when they work as vendors, they typically offer their services independently, which can allow for more flexibility in how they operate and serve their clients.

This dual capability reflects the diverse needs of individuals requiring support and the various operational frameworks that can exist within the context of support services. It promotes a more personalized approach, ensuring that clients can receive support in a manner that best suits their individual circumstances.
