Register as a personal assistant

If you already work (or want to work) as a personal assistant (PA), you can join our register to advertise what you can do and when you're available to work.

Register as a PA

You won't be working for us, you'll be working directly for the person who needs help, or their family or carers and they will have all the responsibilities as your employer. You can also be self-employed.

Joining our register doesn't guarantee that you'll get a job. We do not recommend any individual PA and employers may carry out appropriate checks before offering you a job.

What a personal assistant does

The role of a personal assistant is extremely varied, and no two jobs will ever be the same as what you'll need to do depends on what support the person needs.

They may need help with:

• their hobbies, such as going to gigs, swimming or the cinema
• going to hospital and other appointments
• personal care, including support to dress, wash and bathe
• developing new skills or applying for a job
• household tasks like cooking, meal preparation, shopping or paperwork.

Skills for Care explain more about the role and what an employer looks for on their personal assistant page.
