Personal Assistant Recruitment Support

Employing your own Personal Assistant (PA) is a popular choice for Direct Payment users. As an employer, you are responsible for recruiting your own staff and being a good manager.

Many Direct Payments users have never experienced being an employer, so Enham offers advice and support to guide you through this process, assisting with:

• drafting job descriptions and person specifications for your new PA
• advertising your job, including uploading your advert onto Enham's website
• arranging interviews and finding the person who is right for you
• criminal record bureau checks (CRB) when you have decided who you want to employ
• preparing a contract of employment
• finding Employers Liability Insurers
• understanding your Health and Safety responsibilities as an employer
• payroll and managed accounts
