Free DP employer and PA Training

 

Pathfinders Neuromuscular Alliance  - We are a user-led charity, run entirely for and by individuals with muscle-weakening conditions. We are dedicated to promoting choice, control and quality of life for adults with these conditions through research, support services, training, and advocacy. 

This February and March, thanks to funding from Skills for Care, we are excited to be able to offer FREE online training modules for both Personal Assistants and Employers of Personal Assistants. These modules have been developed by individuals with lived experience of significant care and support needs and cover essential topics such as working in someone's home, privacy and dignity, and recruitment/onboarding!  

Upcoming Training Dates:

PA Employer Training 

  • Friday 14th and Saturday 15th February

  • Friday 14th March and Friday 21st March

 PA Training 

  • Saturday 22nd February

  • Monday 10th to Thursday 13th March 

While we primarily focus on individuals with muscle-weakening conditions, this training is open to anyone with significant or complex care and support needs who employ personal assistants, as well as personal assistants themselves. Our user-led training is designed to empower participants with the skills and knowledge needed for successful PA employment, and we look forward to delivering more sessions in the future.

Aspects of it may be useful to the social work teams also
