Employing a personal assistant
If you choose to receive direct payments and use them to employ someone, you'll get exactly the care you need because you'll choose your personal assistant (PA) and what they do.
How we can help
We'll support you with the process of employing someone and with the rules you'll need to know to become an employer. Where training is required for your PA, we will signpost you to any relevant organisations who can provide this training. Funding may also be added to your budget if required.
Becoming an employer
For support on your roles and responsibilities as an employer, you can contact Capability Scotland.
They receive funding from the Scottish Government to provide this support service within Dumfries and Galloway.
