| Our Personal Assistants are from all types
of backgrounds. Some staff are full time, some part time.
Some work every week, some work as and when necessary. Most go back to the same Clients every week. All Personal Assistants are thoroughly vetted. This includes taking up references from previous employments, and checking with the Criminal Record Bureau and Protection of Vulnerable Adults Register. Some Personal Assistants have, or learn, additional skills to enable them to work with their Clients more effectively, e.g. use of Makaton, specialist cooking skills, use of medical apparatus which Clients need, computer skills (to help students with educational support), etc. We constantly review the training needs of our Personal Assistants to ensure they have the required skills and qualifications.
