Choices and Rights are not recruiting at the moment. However, if you are looking for jobs as a Personal Assistant, please got to: www.padatabase.org.uk
How we help people find the right Personal Assistant.
As part of the Direct Payment Support Scheme we have developed a bespoke database of potential Personal Assistants (PAs). We have a growing number of local people in the Hull and East Riding area who are potential PAs on the database, and advertise vacancies on a daily basis. This has assisted many people to develop a career within the Care sector, and also attracts a wide range of candidates of all ages and backgrounds.
Interested in becoming a PA?
In June 2020, we developed and simplified the existing PA database and have made it far easier to register as a PA, as well as easier to navigate and use.
Pop over to www.padatabase.org.uk in order to find out more.
Looking to advertise for a PA?
As an employer, there are legal requirements which you must satisfy, such as keeping accurate accounts, organising payroll, and providing sick pay, holiday pay, maternity leave, and a pension. There is support available to help understand what those requirements are, and how to get help with fulfilling the role of employer. We will support you, to whatever extent you need, on your responsibilities as an employer, so please don’t be daunted. We will advertise your vacancy to all the members of the PA database, through our mail-out system, as well as other online job advertising boards, and we are happy to support you, for example, with the interview and selection process and beyond.
If you would like support with advertising please contact: office@choicesandrights.org.uk or call (01482) 878778.
For more information about any of the above, please contact Choices and Rights Disability Coalition.
If you’re looking for a career change in 2023, you could make a difference to your life and the lives of others by beginning a career in care.
Choices and Rights have received support from Hull City Council to produce a video showing three different examples of how disabled people can use direct payments. The video features stories of the different experiences of disabled people and their Personal Assistants (PAs) and was produced and edited by Mal Wlliamson. (https://malwilliamson.com/)
