About The Role
Helensburgh - Mental Health Team, 20 Hours Per Week, £12.60 Per Hour
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 with a learning disability to achieve their goals and outcomes – whatever they may be! Each person we support has different support needs, 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.
The People We Support
Let us introduce you to Anna and David: Anna loves being outdoors, going for local walks, going shopping and just being as generally active as possible. A typical day could be going to the shops to ensure Anna has all the essentials she needs, stopping for a coffee and a chat with you about how their week has been or even just to have a wander around her local community.
David loves being outdoors just like Anna. A typical day could be going to the shops to ensure David has all the essentials he needs, or even just to have a wander around his local community. Sometimes he attends Jean's Bothy to meet other people with similar interests and who also struggle with their mental health.
About You
If you think you share the same interests and have the commitment, dedication, and above all, desire to support Anna and David 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 who has a learning disability.
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 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!
