If you employ a Personal Assistant (PA) through a Personal Health Budget (PHB) or direct payments, we can provide fully tailored training to meet your individual care needs. Our PA Training is delivered face-to-face by our experienced care trainers and can take place in your own home or preferred location.

We work with you to build a personalised training plan that ensures your PAs feel confident, competent, and equipped to deliver safe, person-centred care. Training content is designed around your support needs and can include single topics or combined sessions.

These training sessions can be paid for privately, through a PHB broker, or funded via the Individual Employer Funding scheme if you’re eligible.

Key Learning Areas (Examples)

• Moving and Assisting (with or without a hoist)
• Basic First Aid and Emergency Life Support
• Infection Prevention and Control
• Catheter and Stoma Awareness
• Medication Awareness
• Mental Health Awareness
• Safeguarding Adults

Every person’s care needs are unique — and their PA’s training should be too. Our Bespoke PA Training is ideal for individuals receiving care through a Personal Health Budget (PHB) or direct payments, who want to make sure their Personal Assistants are trained in the skills that matter most.

Our friendly, qualified trainers will work with you to understand your care plan and create a tailored training session that reflects your goals, preferences, and practical support needs. We can cover anything from safe hoist use and administering medication to managing anxiety, safeguarding responsibilities, or support with personal care routines.

Training is delivered face-to-face, often in your own home, and designed to put your PAs at ease while building skills and confidence. Whether you’re training a new PA, offering a refresher, or expanding their skill set as your needs change — we’re here to help.

We’ll support you in understanding how to fund your training through your Personal Health Budget or through the Skills for Care Individual Employer Fund, where available.

What is a Personal Health Budget (PHB)?

A Personal Health Budget is funding allocated by your local NHS team to help you meet your health and wellbeing needs. It is based on your care plan and gives you more choice and control over how support is delivered. You can use your PHB to employ personal assistants, purchase services, or fund training for your care team.
