Who's Who at Sistability: Gardeners, Cleaners, and Support Workers Explained
We are committed to ensuring our clients get the right support for their needs while maximising the value of our services. While our gardeners and cleaners are highly skilled, some tasks are often better suited for our support workers. This blog will help you understand the key differences between these roles so you can select the best option for your household.
Gardeners: Outdoor Experts
Our gardening team is here to help maintain your outdoor spaces and keep them looking fantastic. They are trained to tackle a variety of more specialised gardening tasks.
Gardeners handle tasks such as:
Lawn mowing and edging
Hedge trimming and pruning
Weeding and mulching
Planting and small landscaping jobs
Garden cleanups & tip runs
Dismantling of garden furniture
High pressure hosing pathways
When a support worker might be a better fit:
For light gardening tasks such as sweeping leaves, organising tools, or watering plants, a support worker could be the right choice. They can assist with these simpler tasks while also offering additional support if you need help in other areas of your home or lifestyle.

Our cleaners are experts at maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of your home. They focus on delivering professional-level results for all types of cleaning jobs.
Cleaners handle tasks such as:

Bathroom and kitchen cleaning
Deep cleans (spring cleaning, ovens, cupboards, heavy-duty cleaning)
When a support worker might be a better fit:
If you need help with tidying up, wiping down surfaces, or lighter cleaning duties, a support worker can assist. This is particularly helpful when cleaning is part of a broader support plan, allowing them to offer personalised help across your home.
Support Workers: Versatile and Person-Focused
Support workers are a fantastic option for clients who need a little extra help around the house or garden, especially with day-to-day tasks. What sets them apart is their focus on personalised care and their ability to assist across a range of activities.
