Is the Personal Assistant (PA) role right for you?
A Personal Assistant supports people who use direct payments in their own homes and communities to live independently and safely.
This may include support with daily routines, personal care, social activities, and promoting independence.
PAs are employed directly by people who receive direct payments, meaning they choose who supports them and how their care is delivered.
Why not check out the ‘Skills for Care Personal Assistant Toolkit’, It explains more about the role and why it’s a great job.
