Direct Payments Support

If you hold or are considering a Direct Payment, we’re here to help if you need us. Learn how we can help you make self-directing your support easy. We cover everything from finding a PA to managing payroll.

How can we help you?

Support finding a Personal Assistant

We work with the PA Collective to help you find a Personal Assistant (PA) that suits you. They’ll work with you to create a personalised job advert. Then, they’ll share it with their network of PAs and across Cornwall to fill the role. They’ll make sure you have everything you need to get set-up. And they’ll check-in to make sure everything’s going well.

Managing the finances

Our PAMAS team can help you in the following ways:

  • Making sure your support matches your care plan

  • Handling all support payments

  • Managing your budget to keep things on track

  • Deal with payroll and HMRC responsibilities

Expert guidance

Sometimes support can feel complicated. But you don’t have to do it alone. We’re here to make things simple and clear. You may want help setting up or making sense of paperwork. We can help by:

• Answering your questions

• Explaining your options in plain English

• Helping you feel confident and in control

Get in touch whenever you need a hand. We’re always happy to help.
