Personal Assistant in Milltown

MILLTOWN COMMUNITY

SESSIONAL HOURS (bank shifts)

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 Milltown Community:

Milltown Community is a vibrant and unique place. It is home to seven adults with learning disabilities. Milltown also has a Day Service workshop, with woodwork, gardening, animal care and all sorts of crafty projects. No two days are the same at Milltown. If you have a green thumb, you could be in the gardens supporting our learners to plant this years veggies. If you're down to boogie then you could be in the houses hosting a disco for the residents! Shifts vary from 09:30 - 15:30, 15:30 - 22:00 and sleepovers. Our residents can only enjoy life's simple pleasures with proper dedicated support from their staff team. 

That is why Milltown Community needs you! Will you bring your best so that Milltown residents can live their best life?
