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 Isla:
Isla loves spending time at home, watching her favourite programmes on STV and films, especially any with Colin Firth or Hugh Grant. A fan of the Royal Family, Isla loves to keep up to date on all things royal and would love to visit Buckingham Palace one day.
Isla also enjoys, on the odd occasion, social activities out with the home however recently this has caused heightened anxiety for Isla and must be planned and managed very well by her staff team. Isla benefits from structure and routine and likes to have a flow to her day and her team members will be committed to maintaining this. You will work with Isla and her existing support team to develop her support plan and build on existing interests as her confidence grows.
It is essential you are an effective communicator with a calm demeanour, methodical approach and a can do attitude.
That is why Isla needs you! Will you bring your best so that Isla can live her best life?
