Finding a Personal Assistant/Carer?

Hello all, I am new here! I am in the process of trying to recruit a Personal Assistant and finding it difficult to locate places to advertise for free? Or any database sites for PA/carers as such?

It seems there are very limited options and resources available and left to sort all this out.

Here are some sites I have found during my research (though not utilised so cannot recommend.)

carepair.co.uk
curamcare.com
https://www.find-a-pa.co.uk/ (Covers Hammersmith and surrounding areas.)

https://papool.co.uk/   (Charges a fee approx. up to £20 per month.)
https://ukcil.com/  (Charges a fee:  Website states £96.)


Other links that may be useful:

https://a4u.org.uk/

Thank you,

Kind regards

    Hi there 

    Your local council should have a register of local pa/carers

    Thank you for your message Janer, They haven't been very supportive unfortunately, which is why we are trying alternative methods.
