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.
