Personal Assistant (PA)
Personal Assistant Service Update
Our Personal Assistant service is currently full, and we are not accepting new referrals or applications at this time. We will update this page as soon as capacity becomes available.
We understand how valuable one to one support is for individuals and their families, and we appreciate that this may be disappointing news. Demand for Personal Assistant services continues to exceed the availability of skilled support workers, both locally and nationally. As a result, we have made the difficult decision to pause new applications while we focus on delivering the highest quality support to those already using the service.
What is a Personal Assistant?
SoLO’s Personal Assistant (PA) service falls within our Community Services, providing personalised one to one support for children and adults with learning disabilities, helping them live more independently and take part in everyday life.
Our professional Personal Assistants are employed, assessed and managed by SoLO, giving individuals and their families confidence that they are receiving high quality, reliable support.
Support is tailored to each person’s individual needs and may include personal care, assistance at home, attending appointments, developing independent living skills, accessing education or employment, and enjoying social, community and leisure activities. Whether at home or out in the community, our Personal Assistants help people build confidence, develop new skills and live life as independently as possible.
Recruiting New Personal Assistants
We are continuing to review capacity and recruit new Personal Assistants. As soon as spaces become available, this page will be updated. If you have any questions or would like to discuss alternative SoLO services such as Supported Living that may be suitable, please contact our team on 0121 779 3865 or email info@sololifeopportunities.org.
