Your role

We believe that directing your own support, using a direct payment or personal budget, is a crucial aspect of transforming care relationships. We're seeking people who share our view and would cherish the opportunity to promote this message across Sheffield. As a key member of our team, you'll have the opportunity to drive a 12-month project aimed at increasing the number of Personal Assistants in the Sheffield area. We particularly welcome candidates with lived experience of self-directed support, whether as a personal assistant or an employer.

What you will do

- Raise awareness of the Personal Assistant role among residents.

- Increase profiles on Sheffield's Personal Assistant Register.

- Organise recruitment and engagement events across the city.

- Facilitate peer support networks for both Personal Assistants and employers.

- Cultivate partnerships with local universities and colleges to involve students in the role of a Personal Assistant.

We need self-motivated individuals who are driven by creativity and innovation. Excellent communication skills are a must, along with the ability to engage effectively with diverse stake holders. Understanding and appreciation of diverse cultural backgrounds are highly desirable.

We are an organisation led by people with lived experience. For quarter of a century, we have been working with disabled people and their families to create a fairer and more inclusive society.
