Personal Assistant for Daisy in Keith

Keith

24 or 36 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 Daisy:

Daisy prefers a quiet life, slow paced and to do everything in her own time. Daisy lives in her own home and enjoys time in her living room listening to the radio or watching Disney films. It takes time for Daisy to trust her staff but once that bond is created she will relax with a foot spa or have nails painted. Daisy has started going out into the community more and takes pleasure in a country walk. Daisy needs support to maintain her relationships with family who also take her for drives out in the car around the local area. 

 Daisy receives support 7 days a week 24hrs a day.  Sadly, it’s not always possible for Daisy to enjoy what many people would consider these ‘simple pleasures’ without proper, dedicated support.

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

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