Disability Employment Advisors

A Disability Employment Advisor (DEA) at your local Jobcentre can help you find a job or gain new skills and tell you about disability friendly employers in your area.

They can also refer you to a specialist work psychologist, if appropriate, or carry out an ‘employment assessment’, asking you about:

  • your skills and experience
  • what kind of roles you’re interested in

Disability Confident Employers

The Disability Confident scheme aims to help employers make the most of the opportunities provided by employing disabled people. It is voluntary and has been developed by employers and disabled people’s representatives.

The Government publishes a list of all organisations who have signed up to the Disability Confident Scheme. This might help you with identifying which employers are already aware of how to support an employee with a disability.

Personal Assistant Vacancies

Personal Assistants (PA’s) are employed to assist children/young people  who need support with health or social care and provide extra support to the parent/guardian.  Every child is different and so are their needs, PA support can vary from working with a child with Autism to sensory loss to behavior issues to being physically disabled so each child needs to be supported in their unique way.

Personal Assistants supporting children are usually employed by the parent/guardian/carer of the child who is in receipt of Direct Payments, and are employed by Bedford Borough Council.   You are entitled to the same employee rights as any other employee, such as paid holidays. 

PA’s are not employed by Bedford Borough Council

Having a disability yourself is no barrier to becoming a personal assistant and in fact many families may see this as a positive as it will provide a good role model for their own child with a disability.
