Who can be my carer?
You can choose a friend, neighbour, or sometimes a member of your family, as long as they do not live in your house. You can use your Direct Payments to pay for a carer from a care agency, or someone else who is self employed. Alternatively your advisor will be happy to assist you in recruiting through the local newspaper or alternative means which he/she can discuss with you. Choosing your Personal Assistant is an enjoyable part of the process. If you do advertise in the local newspaper A4e will support you throughout. We can send out job packs, interview letters, arrange times and venues for interviews. A4e can also help you to conduct the interviews.
