Whether you're employed or self-employed, our personal assistant (PA) network is designed to support your professional development, help you build new skills and connect you with other PAs.
Join our growing community of personal assistants. Delivered online throughout the year, these interactive sessions provide opportunities to explore key topics, share experiences and learn from peers.
What to expect
We’ll be exploring the topic of AI technology, including generative AI, and its impact on personal assistants in adult social care. You’ll hear from:

Isaac Samuels, an individual employer who employs PAs to support living an ordinary life. Isaac champions for co-production helping people with lived experience shape the systems that serve them.
We’ll also be going through:
- Guidance, resources and support currently available for PAs through Skills for Care, including our Individual Employer and Personal Assistant (IEPA) Toolkit.
- Our plans and activities for the year ahead.
- Learning and development opportunities available to PAs.
