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 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
Personal Assistants at their best have the potential to truly bring out the best in the people we support.
Let us introduce you to Craig:
Craig loves being outdoors, going for long walks (especially on those rare sunny days in Scotland) and just being as generally active as possible. A typical day could be going to the shops to ensure Craig has all the essentials he needs, or even just to have a wander around his local community. In his downtime, Craig enjoys watching movies, playing video games and just having a general blether with friends. Craig receives support 7 days a week usually between the hours of 8am and 8pm. Sadly, it's not always possible for Craig to enjoy what many people would consider these simple pleasures without proper, dedicated support.
That is why Craig needs you! Will you bring your best so that Craig can live his best life?
