Role
Are you interested in working for an award winning social care charity?
Personal Assistants (Support Workers) have an important role within Enable by making a positive difference every day to the lives of the people we support. 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 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 and our team of Personal Assistants work collaboratively to ensure safety, wellbeing and aspirations are met.
Annie – example of the person we support
Annie lives in her own flat in Edinburgh and is supported to live independently. She is a lovely young woman who enjoys spending time with her team. Although she has a physical disability, she is fully capable intellectually and has numerous qualifications.
She enjoys having a chat and a laugh with her team and values a team with a good sense of humour. Annie likes going to Edinburgh and Scotland home rugby games with her Stepdad, visiting the local library for books, and shopping at nearby Sainsbury’s.
She enjoys watching the news, movies and a variety of programs on Netflix and Disney+, and discusses these with the person supporting her. She also likes sports on TV including tennis, athletics and rugby, and Christmas time is a favourite season for her.
Annie needs a dedicated, compassionate, person-centred team who will respect her wishes while providing the physical support to help her maintain independence and live her best life.
