Individual Employer Funding

Individual Employer Funding

As an individual employer you can apply for funding from Skills for Care to train yourself and your personal assistants (PAs).

The funding can be used to cover training costs to develop your skills as an employer, direct costs of completing training/qualifications, hiring replacement support whilst your usual PA is attending training courses and travel.

It’s available to people who employ their own care and support using an adult social care direct payment (personal budget) or using your own money as a ‘self-funder’.

To apply for funding you’ll need to complete an application form by 5pm on Sunday 31 March 2024 and any training that you want to be funded must be started by 30 April 2024.

For Full information on how to apply click on the Skills for Care website

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.
