Personal Assistant
What about a Personal Assistant (PA)?
A Personal Assistant (PA) is a carer who will usually work directly with individuals to support them with a wide range of aspects of their daily life. At home, in the community, at leisure or at work, a PA will be flexible enough to support an individual to live more independently.
A Personal Assistant (also referred to as Social Personal Assistants or Independent Carer) can be self-employed and offer a range of care and social support services.
Personal Assistant must have all the necessary requirements for self-employed professionals and must satisfy all relevant laws relating to work and business in the UK.
Personal Assistants can vary in qualifications, experiences and type of services on offer.
As an active professional on our register, a Personal Assistant will need to continue to meet all training, care industry standards, and other legal requirements, as part of the commitment to delivering high quality to their clients.
Rates are competitive and are determined by the Personal Assistant.
