Personal Assistant Finder
A personal assistant (also known as a PA) is employed by people who need social care (either because of their age or disability) to enable them to live as independently as possible and assist them with their everyday life. This can include helping with shopping, household tasks and help with personal care such as bathing and getting dressed.
They can also support people to access community resources (eg the library) as well as community activities and leisure facilities such as the cinema and the local bowling alley.
A PA understands each individual is different and the support they deliver gives the people that employs them choice and control. Find out more about our personal assistant finder.
