Free Training for Personal Assistants and Individual Employers

Free Training for Personal Assistants and Individual Employers

Every year Skills for Care distributes funding to user led organisations across the country to provide training for individual employers and personal assistants.

ULO funding grants are awarded to pay for training which will improve the knowledge and skills of personal assistants (PAs) and their employers (individual employers).

  • Individual employers are people who employ their own care and support staff using a social care direct payment from their local authority or their own money.
  • Personal assistants (PAs) are people who are employed directly by individuals (or families) who require care and support, rather than care providing organisations.

These training courses are fully funded and have been designed by people with lived experience specifically to be suitable for individual employers, personal assistants, self-employed PAs and individuals commissioning them.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.
