About The Role
Location: Auchinleck, East Ayrshire
Full‑time contract available; 35 hours per week.
Shift pattern: 7am – 9pm.
Are you interested in working for an award‑winning social care charity?
Personal Assistants (Support Workers) play a crucial role in 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 you will be supporting someone who requires assistance to achieve their goals and outcomes – whatever they may be.
Each person we support has different support requirements, so your role as Support Worker may include assisting them with personal care, moving and handling, or positive behavioural support while expanding their social networks and connections.
Enable creates a bespoke team around each individual we support, and our team of Personal Assistants works collaboratively to ensure the safety, well‑being and aspirations of the people we support are met.
Meet Jack
Jack is a kind, outdoors‑loving individual who enjoys simple routines and familiar places. His days often include peaceful walks in one of his favourite parks, a drive or a trip to the shops in the morning, and lunch at home. Jack also enjoys spending time in his garden and relaxing on his sensory swing.
In the afternoons, he likes to go out again for another local walk before settling in for dinner. Jack thrives on consistency and familiarity in his environment and daily activities.
Jack receives support 7 days a week between 7am and 9pm. While many of the activities Jack enjoys may seem like simple pleasures, he isn’t able to experience them fully without the right support in place.
Could you be the person who helps Jack live life to the fullest? We’re looking for dedicated, compassionate support staff who can bring their best every day so Jack can enjoy his life.
About You
If you think you share the same interests and have the commitment, dedication, and above all, desire to support Jack to get the most out of life, then please apply now. Enable needs you and your values to help us create an equal society for every person we support.
