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 role may include assisting them with various aspects of personal care, moving and handling or positive behavioural support while 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.
We look for those who share our values, have a commitment to support individuals to get the most out of life and become an inclusive member of society. You don’t need experience in care to start your social care career with Enable; we recruit people based on their values and transferrable skills. Wherever your journey has taken you, join us and help forge a new path in what could be the most rewarding role you have ever had!
