How it works

For future PAs

From application to a real job

  1. Apply. Tell us your skills, languages and availability — 5 minutes, fully accessible form.
  2. Train & certify. Complete our 4-week Disability Support PA course (hybrid, Cape Town) and practical assessment.
  3. Get placed. We match you with a disabled employer whose needs fit your skills — with a paid trial, a proper contract, and check-ins.
For disabled employers

From enquiry to the right PA

  1. Tell us your needs. Support tasks, hours, languages, area, funding — you stay in control as the employer.
  2. Meet your matches. Every match is reviewed by a human, explained in plain language, and introduced properly. Nothing is decided by an algorithm.
  3. Hire with confidence. Paid trial period, employment contract template, and an optional monthly support plan for payroll admin and replacements.

Training & certification

Our Certified PA — Disability Support course runs monthly in Cape Town (hybrid: online theory + in-person practical). It covers personal care, safe mobility support, communication support including AAC and SASL basics, disability rights and the UNCRPD, professional boundaries, and first aid. Certification requires a practical assessment and background check, and is valid for two years.

Funded seats are available through SETA skills funding and CSI sponsorships — you can apply before funding is confirmed.

Why this matters now

Every month a disabled person spends without a properly trained PA is a month of missed work opportunities, unsafe transfers, and family members burning out doing untrained care. And every month a capable candidate waits without accredited training is a month of unemployment in a country that urgently needs care skills.

Untrained support isn't neutral — it costs health, income and independence. A trained, vetted, properly contracted PA changes both lives at once. That's the placement we make.
