Notice Information

Notice Title

Personalised PA Finder "Buddy Scheme"

Notice Description

The purpose of the RBG buddy scheme is to provide appropriate aged support to children and young people with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities. We are looking for an organisation that will be able to provide a bespoke PA matching service. This is a pilot service for a one year period with the option to extend for a further two 12 month periods. The service should act as a go between for the child/young person/parent and personal assistant (PA). The organisation will not employ any of the PAs rather offer a creative way in which to enable parents/carers/ young people to choose and connect with an age and interest appropriate PA. Additional information: We are interested in organisations who are able to deliver the service via a direct payment model and welcome proposals on how this will be managed.
