As a Personal Assistant you’ll work directly with one or more individuals to help them with various aspects of their daily life, to help them live as independently as possible.
You’ll be employed directly by an individual who’s managing and paying for their own care through a social care direct payment or personal budget.
Personal Assistants usually support individuals in their own home or to go out in the community.
You can be employed directly by one employer or work for a number of different people.
You don’t necessarily need any qualifications to become a personal assistant. What’s really important is that you have the right values and behaviours to work in social care.

A Disability Confident employer will generally offer an interview to any applicant that declares they have a disability and meets the minimum criteria for the job as defined by the employer. It is important to note that in certain recruitment situations such as high-volume, seasonal and high-peak times, the employer may wish to limit the overall numbers of interviews offered to both disabled people and non-disabled people.
