Are you interested in working for an award winning social care charity?
Personal Assistants (Support Workers) have the most important role within Enable by making a positive difference every day to the lives of the people we support. No two days are the same for our Personal Assistants but what we can guarantee is that you will be supporting someone with a learning disability to achieve their goals and outcomes – whatever they may be!
Each person we support has different support needs, so your role as Support Worker may include assisting them with various aspects of personal care, moving and handling or positive behavioural support whilst expanding their social networks and connections.
Enable creates a bespoke team around every individual we support, and our team of Personal Assistants work collaboratively to ensure the safety, wellbeing and aspirations of the people we support are met.
The Best in You Brings Out the Best in Me
The people we support have many varied interests and hobbies and have many of the same dreams and aspirations as we do; they just too often do not get the opportunity to experience these same opportunities. A career with Enable is as rewarding as it is diverse, Personal Assistants at their best have the potential to truly bring out the best in the people we support.
Let us introduce you to David:
David attends college, with support, 3 days per week during term time. Out-with this, David enjoys being out and about in the community.
David loves music, is interested in cooking, going for walks with his family dog (especially on those rare sunny days in Scotland) and visiting local attractions, such as museums. David also enjoys time with his friends, attends the gym and enjoys cycling. A typical day could be going for breakfast before attending college for the day, or on even just to have a wander/drive around his local community. In his downtime, David enjoys listening to his extensive music collection, playing guitar or being supported to learn to cook something different.
David receives support 3-4 days a week at the moment, usually between the hours of 8am and 6pm but these times can vary, and possible days away at weekends may be required. Sadly, it’s not always possible for David to enjoy what many people would consider these ‘simple pleasures’ without proper, dedicated support. David is young and we are keen to get the right person, committed to supporting David throughout any changes in his life story.
That is why David needs you! Will you bring your best so that David can live his best life?
