As a self-employed Personal Assistant, you are responsible for managing your own work and meeting the requirements that apply to you. This includes:

• Raising your own invoices and ensuring they are accurate.
• Agreeing your working arrangements directly with each Service User.
• Managing your own availability and being proactive in seeking new work opportunities.
• Communicating directly with your Service User if you are unable to attend and, where appropriate, making suitable arrangements with them.
• Keeping your mandatory training, insurance and QCAS approval requirements up to date.
• Registering as self-employed with HMRC and managing your own tax and National Insurance obligations.
• You are responsible for ensuring your invoices are paid and for following up any outstanding payments directly with the Service User or bill payer.

Hub Care Support can provide guidance and administrative support when needed, but you remain responsible for the services you provide and for managing your self-employed business. Hub Care Support does not employ, manage, supervise or direct you in the provision of your services.

• It can take time to build a regular schedule of work and Hub Care Support does not guarantee any minimum level of work, hours or income.
• Your hours and income may vary as Service Users’ needs and circumstances change.
• You agree your working arrangements directly with your Service Users.
• Service Users are responsible for paying your invoices after services have been provided, so payment dates may vary.
• You are responsible for ensuring your invoices are accurate and for following up any outstanding payments with the Service User where necessary.
• As you are self-employed, you are not entitled to employee benefits such as holiday pay or sick pay.
• You can only invoice for services that you have actually provided.
• You are responsible for understanding your obligations as a self-employed Personal Assistant and for ensuring that you provide your services in a way that is consistent with self-employed working.

Before applying, please consider whether self-employment and the potential variation in working hours and income are suitable for your circumstances.
