The Windmill Centre
Support Networks is a Torbay based community project which specialises in recruiting and matching independent Personal Assistants to Adult Social Care funded clients needing care and support.This is a free service for personal assistants looking for care and support jobs in Torbay. This Project works alongside Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust and was set up to help increase care capacity in Torbay as well as increase job opportunities locally.
What we do
We hold a list of independent personal assistants who have gone through our recruitment and vetting process and match those available to referrals we receive.
Once these referrals are matched and completed, we no longer have involvement.
PA’s are not employed, paid or managed by us and we do not direct care in any way but we help with supporting PA’s with the necessary tools to become independent
What are the benefits?
Choice
Everyone has choice and control of who they work with. Both clients and PA’s decide if it is the right match for them
Free training
NHS training is available through the hive. Also, individual training can be arranged with new clients who have specific needs, if required
No obligation
There is no obligation for you to work with our referrals and no obligation to solely
work with us.
Non-Profit
Support Networks is a project of a registered charity which means we are not running
this for financial gain.
Better pay
PA rates are negotiable; we do not dictate the rate for your
services, and we DO NOT take a cut of any fee PA's charge.
Flexibility
​
You pick the hours that suit you and services you wish to provide.
