Skills for Care Personal Assistant Survey

Personal assistants surveySkills for Care is calling for personal assistants (PA) to complete a short survey to help us estimate the number of people that have more than one job in the adult social care sector.

As part of The size and structure of the adult social care sector and workforce in England report, Skills for Care requires an estimate of the number of jobs carried out by people in PA roles.

National Minimum Data Set for Social Care (NMDS-SC) data is used for the majority of the report however coverage of people who employ their own care and support staff (through direct payment or other means), and therefore PAs is still relatively low so cannot yet be used to accurately produce these estimates.

If you are a PA and would like to contribute to this important report, click on the link below. It should only take a few minutes to complete and will be open until 5pm on Friday 4 May 2012. Information gathered will not be used for any other purposes. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SfC_PAMultipleJobs
