Personal Assistance Exchange
for disabled assistance users and assistants

Many persons with extensive disabilities use employed workers for such daily tasks as getting bathed and dressed, shopping, driving their car or anything else which they cannot do by themselves.

Assistance users can find assistants through the Exchange. Assistants can regularly check the site for job openings.

Our ambition is to match assistance users and assistants in their hometown, within their country or in other parts of the world. For example, if you as an assistance user plan to take a trip abroad, you might want to put in an ad offering a position in the city you will be visiting. In this case, you may want to use English. If you need an assistant in your hometown, you may want to use the local language to make it easier to match your request.

The Personal Assistance Exchange can only provide the initial contact. The rest is up to you. We cannot take any responsibility for the quality of contacts made.

Please note:

All languages may be used. If you are looking for an assistant or a job as an assistant in your hometown, it may be easier to find your job offer if the form is filled out in the local language.
