The lack of funding for administrative management penalizes the autonomy and security of the beneficiary!
Choosing gré à gré is a fundamental choice of freedom for the person receiving aid, allowing them to choose their team and individualize their support. But the surprise is discovering that the heavy administrative burden that results is not funded by the Department, which impacts the tranquility and security of the beneficiary.
The Numbered Disparity and its Consequences on Security:
€24.58/h (Agency) = Salary + Funded Management, Coordination, and Replacement Fees.
€12-17/h (Gré à Gré) = Salary only + Management and Replacement Fees assumed for FREE by the beneficiary’s entourage. The funding gap fails to recognize the coordination work. For the beneficiary, this means their serenity and security entirely depend on the ability of their entourage to manage recruitment, payroll, and—a critical point—emergency replacements. The lack of funding for professional management creates a risk of interruption of the aid service: an administrative error or manager burnout has a direct impact on the continuity of aid for the beneficiary. It is the beneficiary’s autonomy that is threatened by this administrative overload.
The Professional Alternative: We propose funding the intervention of an Autonomy Coordinator (Self-employed Administrative Assistance Professional) for administrative aid and home coordination. Our service encompasses all HR management and scheduling, making it possible to secure the continuity of aid for the beneficiary and guarantee them professional management. The Department uses the savings resulting from the rate disparity to fund this externalized coordination, transforming risky gré à gré into a professional model, for a total cost still lower than the provider.
