Personal (care) Assistant Information

A Personal (care) Assistant, or PA, is a person who enables and supports the person they care for to achieve the important personal goal of independence as well as the opportunity to lead their lives on their terms. One way to gain employment as a PA is through a direct payment holder (or their family member) who needs support to live their life in the way they choose.

At Disability Action Haringey, we offer support and advice to enable you to work as a PA. There are opportunities to conduct a range of work for different people with different needs and requirements, and even work with someone with common interests to you.
