Personal Assistant in Glenrothes

GLENROTHES

30 HOURS PER WEEK

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 Ellie:

Ellie is a young woman in her early 20s that lives in her own home supported through the presence of PAs around the clock. Ellie has a learning disability but is very active, is outgoing and loves going to clubs and activities.

Ellie is seeking additional PAs to join her team. The ideal candidates would be compassionate and nurturing and able to provide gentle guidance to a young woman trying to navigate the world. They should have a positive demeanour and are team players that will add to the friendly and positive culture that exists. Whilst no experience is required, the priority is a candidate with the qualities and values listed and full training is given. Availability every second weekend is a must.

That is why Ellie needs you! Will you bring your best so that Ellie can live her  best life?

If you think you share the same interests and have the commitment, dedication, and above all, desire to support Ellie to get the most out of life; then please apply now!
