    Brief

    The Sheffield Personal Assistant (PA) Workforce Pathway is a health and social care initiative designed to build a sustainable system for recruiting, training, and retaining personal assistants. The programme uses community-led recruitment, peer outreach, and networking strategies based on lived experience to strengthen the PA workforce. Its goals are to enable service users to self-direct their care with greater confidence and independence, and to help people with identified needs live safe, rewarding lives through integrated, personalised local services. The initiative also supports information provision and advice about social care options to the public, including self-funding individuals.
