Hertford, United Kingdom HCPA Full time

**Are you looking for flexible, rewarding work, with the option to be employed or self-employed?**

PA Direct Hertfordshire is a network for Private Support Assistants, also known as Personal Assistants who may be available to support Direct Payment Holders. Our goal is to connect Direct Payment Holders (DPH) and Private Support Assistants in Hertfordshire to make it easier for you to access work and ensure the DPH can get the support they need quickly.

We are looking for people who are, or want to become a Private Support Assistant, to enrol with PA Direct Hertfordshire and be available for some work when a suitable position arises. Work will be available across Hertfordshire.

**What is a PA?**

A Private Support Assistant also known as Personal Assistant (PA) is not the same as a traditional Care Assistant. It is someone employed directly by a person aged 18+ who receives Direct Payments to meet their wellbeing outcomes. Those who need care and/or support are known as Direct Payment Holders or Direct Employers. Sometimes the ‘employer’ is a family member or representative of the person requiring support.
- Here is a list of what you **could** do as a Private Support Assistant: _
- Accessing the community
- Exercise sessions
- Medication
- Housekeeping
- Attending appointments
- Finances and paperwork
- Socialising
- Support at work or in education
- Personal Care
- Food preparation

There are many different hours available. Some PA's may work between school hours, or just evenings. Other PA’s are only available to do sleep ins or waking night shifts. The flexibility depends on you and the needs of the Direct Payment Holder.

**Why enrol?**

By joining PA Direct you will receive:

- A £100 Amazon voucher if you are one of the first 200x PA’s to enrol
- Exposure to job opportunities and direct contact with employers
- Exclusive monthly newsletter keeping you up to date
- Access to training to develop your PA skillset
- Access to the Care Professional Standards Academy to receive rewards and benefits for being a PA
- Access to peer support group sessions to meet other PA’s facilitated by the PA Direct team

**Am I eligible to enrol?**
