There are a number of ways that you can be involved with the Independent Living Association (ILA), with both paid and voluntary opportunities.

 

What type of paid work is available?

 

Personal Assistants (PA)

One of our core services is to help people find their own support workers and carers. There is always an excellent variety of jobs ranging from administration, social activities to providing personal care and much more. These jobs are based throughout the West Sussex area.

Lend a hand Care and Domestic Agency

Lend a hand provides both care and domestic support for customers between Littlehampton and Shoreham. Our approach is to tailor the service to the specific needs of the customer with the aim of promoting independence as much as possible.

DP Buddies

People who use our services sometimes tell us that they wish that they could chat about Direct Payments and Personal Budgets with somebody else who has experience of them. It can really help them to get ideas on how they can best use the support available to achieve their desired outcomes. It can also help just to be able to share problems, issues and opportunities to help find the right solution for you.

For further information on how to get involved, please click on the Volunteers button at the bottom of the page.

 

Office Placements

From time to time, we do have opportunities for people looking for work placement opportunities. For further information, please click on the ‘Volunteers’ button at the bottom of this page.

 

We understand the difficulties that can be faced when trying to enter the job market for the first time. For that reason, we are happy to work with both organisations and individuals to provide opportunities for work placements of differing lengths.
