Becoming a Social Care Personal Assistant:
Social Care Personal Assistants (commonly known as PAs) are employed by people who receive Direct Payments to enable them to live as independently as possible. Direct Payments are cash payments given by the Council so people can arrange and pay for their own care and support. People often use the payments to directly employ a PA to help with daily living tasks, taking part in social activities and personal care.
