Our listed PA opportunities will stay online for one month from the date they are posted. It is up to you to come back to us if you wish to post again after the month is up.

We would always recommend that when employing a new Personal Assistant that you check references from their latest employer and carry out PVG checks (we can help with this). If through their previous employment they were registered with the SSSC (necessary if they have worked in a care home) then you can check their name on this website www.sssc.uk.com/search-the-register/ to check that they have not been stopped from practising. Please note: not everyone will be registered with the SSSC.
