From time to time we have tender opportunities available to support our work.
Testing the Personal Assistant Role Category within the Care Workforce Pathway
We are pleased to invite you to submit a proposal for the delivery of a testing and engagement programme focused on the Personal Assistant (PA) role category within the Care Workforce Pathway, recently published by the Department of Health and Social Care in partnership with Skills for Care.
The purpose of this work is to test the usability, reception, perceived value, and implementation potential of the new PA role category with Personal Assistants and Individual Employers across England. The insights generated will directly inform refinements to the role category, development of supporting resources, and broader efforts to raise awareness and recognition of the PA workforce.
We are seeking a supplier who will engage with this work creatively and bring their own ideas to how best to approach the testing which will generate meaningful outcome. While suggested test areas and methods are outlined in the ITQ, we welcome proposals that go beyond these and offer innovative ways of engaging with the target audience.
