Welcome to the Active Independence PA Job Board! This platform helps Personal Assistants (PAs) and employers connect directly. To ensure everyone has a clear and safe experience, please read these important points about how our service works.

Your Agreement and Responsibilities

When you register and use our PA Job Board, you agree to our terms and conditions. We might update these from time to time, and it's your responsibility to stay informed about any changes.

Please note: Active Independence provides a web-based search tool for you to manage your own recruitment or employment. We do not assess the suitability of employers or PAs, nor do we recommend or match members. We also don't guarantee the quality, suitability, or timeliness of a PA's work.

It's your sole responsibility as an employer or a PA to ensure that the terms of employment are appropriate and meet your requirements, and that the outcome of any work is satisfactory.

How Our Service Works

The PA Job Board allows registered members to connect. We simply provide the facility for one party to communicate with another. We are not involved in the hiring process beyond this connection.

To protect identities, the full PA Job Board isn't publicly accessible on our website. When a PA applies for a job, only their telephone number and email address (if provided) are passed on to the employer, who will then contact them directly.

Costs and Fees

• Registering as a member on the PA Job Board is free for both PAs and employers.
• If you're an employer deciding to post a job advert to recruit a PA, there is a fee of £30.

Membership and Account Management

• Terminating Your Membership: You can end your membership at any time, for any reason, by sending a notice through our email contact form.
• Termination by Active Independence: We may immediately end your membership without warning if you breach our terms and conditions, if we receive a complaint about your conduct, or if your actions are deemed inappropriate by Active Independence.
• Account Deactivation: Accounts that haven't been used for six months or more (based on your last login) may be deactivated.

Your Privacy and Data Protection

We respect your information and comply with all applicable data protection laws in England and Wales. Active Independence will not disclose your personal information to any third-party suppliers.

By becoming a member, you consent to us using your personal information to provide the services you need. This means your information will only be shared with PAs or employers you are interested in working with, either through, job applications, or if you specifically request your contact details be passed on.

Important Safeguards and Recommendations

You are responsible for the information you provide, and it should be specific and relevant to your current needs. You also agree that you are solely responsible for ensuring the suitability of applicants for your vacancy or the job you are applying for.

We strongly recommend that you take thorough steps to verify suitability, such as:

• Conducting face-to-face interviews.
• Verifying previous employment and qualifications.
• Obtaining character and work references.
• Undertaking a Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check.
• Taking any other actions you deem necessary to confirm an applicant's or employer's integrity.

Active Independence accepts no responsibility or liability for the placement of a candidate.

Content Standards and Website Availability

• Profile Approval: All content in member profiles is subject to our approval. We reserve the right to reject or remove any profile that we believe, in good faith, doesn't conform to applicable laws, our policies, or public interest. We may also reject any links or personal contact details within advertisements.
• Website Availability: While we strive to ensure our website is available, we don't guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. Access may be temporarily suspended for maintenance, system failure, or reasons beyond our control.

Prohibited Uses and Liability

• Unauthorised Use: You may not use this website or its services for illegal or unauthorised purposes, including collecting member usernames or emails for unsolicited mail. Any such actions will be investigated, and appropriate legal action may be taken.
• No Agencies: The Active Independence PA Job Board is not for use by agencies. Any inquiries from such organisations should be sent via our email contact form.
• Security: You are responsible for keeping your username and password confidential.
• Limited Liability: Except where expressly provided by law, Active Independence is not liable for any issues arising from the use or unsuitability of this website or its services. In any event, Active Independence's maximum liability relating to services provided through this website will be limited to £100.

Governing Law

These terms and conditions, and your use of our services, are governed by English law. Any disputes will be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts. If any part of these terms is found to be invalid, the remaining provisions will continue in full effect.
