Description

We will work with you, your family or your circle of support to decide what you want and need from your personal assistant (PA). We will use easy and accessible “getting to know you” tools to help you. 

We will use these to write:
• what they need to do (job outline)
• the type of person you are looking for (person specification)
• the skills and abilities the PA will need to have (competencies)

We will help you write these into a template that sets out what you want from your PA.

We will also help you to plan for employing your PA, including:
• how much money you have from different sources (like your direct payment, personal health budget or other funds)
• how much support you need, what you need support with
• how much work you can offer a PA
• how much to pay the PA
• who will be the employer of your PA (depending on your capacity)
• who will help and support the employer to employ and manage the PA
• what support you need from other people or Uemploy

Once you have decided what you are looking for in a PA and what you can offer, we can help you find your perfect match. Visit our store for more information.

You can contact a Uemploy Consultant directly between 8.30am and 5.30pm Monday to Friday or outside these hours by appointment.
