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
The people we support have many varied interests and hobbies and have many of the same dreams and aspirations as we do; they just too often do not get the opportunity to experience these same opportunities. A career with Enable is as rewarding as it is diverse, Personal Assistants at their best have the potential to truly bring out the best in the people we support.
Let us introduce you to Nancy:
Nancy loves spending her days listening to 60's and 70's music, you will usually find her tapping away to the music. She enjoys getting out in the local area, whether this be in the car or a walk through the village, she could pass hours people watching and taking the world in. A typical day for Nancy could be completing her weekly shopping to ensure she has everything she needs, attending her local karaoke club or passing her day at home with her music and TV shows. Nancy lives in her own home and receives support 7 days a week between the hours of 7:30am and 21:30pm, she has good relationships with her neighbours and friends that she is keen to maintain. Sadly, it's not always possible for Nancy to enjoy what many people would consider these 'simple pleasures' without proper, dedicated support.
