How to find work as a PA in East Sussex

You will not receive referrals directly from Adult Social Care workers. If a client of Adult Social Care is considering having a PA, they will be directed to our Direct Payment Support Service provider, Independent Lives.

Independent Lives will work with the client to understand whether their package of care will be suitable for employed or self-employed PAs. They will also support clients in their search for a PA.

Independent Lives’ PA pages bring together personal assistants and Direct Payment recipients.

You can advertise your availability, apply for PA roles and stay up to date with the latest health and social care news and information. Register at: PA pages
