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 who requires support to achieve their goals and outcomes – whatever they may be!

Each person we support has different support requirements, so your support worker role 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. So whatever your interests are; be it sewing, baking, having a cup of tea and chat to horse riding, swimming or hill-walking, we want to hear from you!

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.

Rachel has complex care needs and autism. She thoroughly enjoys the outdoors and has her own mobility car and enjoys going out to the park with her care staff team. Rachel is very routine based and likes to go out to her favourite places and loves watching movies - Mr. Bean is one of them. Rachel receives support 7 days a week usually between the hours of 9am to 9am including overnight support and also has 5 days per week a 2:1 shift pattern from 10.30am to 2.30pm.

Rachel also goes to her parents home every 2nd Friday and is picked up by her parents from the Service.

Stephen is an active, sociable young man, who values his independence and enjoys living in his own flat. Stephen thrives when he has a strong, positive relationship with the team around and who will get to know him well, build trust and enjoy spending time with him doing things he enjoys doing as well as supporting him to maintain his tenancy.

Stephen leads a busy life, and he would like staff who share or are happy to take part in his hobbies and routines:

• Celtic Football club
• WWE
• Harry Potter
• Enjoys Dj'ing
• Horse Riding
• Football
• Attending or volunteering at adult social clubs

Enable needs you and your values to help us create an equal society for every person who has a learning disability.

Wherever your journey has taken you up until now, join us, and together we will forge a new path in what could potentially be the most rewarding role you have ever had!
