Support networks for PAs
East Sussex Personal Assistants' Network (ESPAN)
A place where PAs can share their thoughts, ideas and concerns, as well as benefit from the experience of others. Meetings are friendly, informal and independently run, led by PAs in their local communities. You will have the opportunity to discuss issues that are important to you and the valuable work that you do in a mutually supportive environment.
The aims of the network are to:
- offer support and advice for PAs using the combined knowledge and skills of attendees
- be a source of referral for new business and cover for holidays
- work in partnership with others to promote best practice in personal support roles
- share information of local resources and services
