Penderels Direct Payment Support Service
Pendereles offers direct dayment information, advice and support if you employ personal assistants or care givers.
Please note that as an employer you can provide confirmation to your personal assistant’s or caregivers to state that they are ‘keyworkers’. This may make it quicker for PA’s or caregivers to complete shopping for you at supermarkets, as they can show the letter. Advice on template letters can be found by contacting:
- Penderels Worcestershire branch
- email: worcester@penderelstrust.org.uk
- telephone number: 01299 253225
Penderels are also able to help you with recruitment of Personal Assistants’ or caregivers both on a temporary or permanent basis.
