Personal Assistants (Support Workers) have the most important role within ENABLE Scotland 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 you will be supporting someone with a learning disability to achieve their goals and outcomes – whatever they may be!
In South Lanarkshire each person we support has different support needs, so your role may include assisting with various aspects of personal care, moving and handling or positive behavioural support whilst expanding social networks and connections. Supporting them to live their lives how they would like to on a day-to-day basis. As a sessional member of staff you would provide your availability for the month and shifts would be scheduled accordingly.
ENABLE Scotland 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 varied interests and hobbies and have many of the same dreams and aspirations as we do; they just do not always get the opportunities. Whatever your interests are—sewing, baking, tea and chat, horse riding, swimming or hill-walking—we want to hear from you.
A career with ENABLE Scotland is rewarding and diverse; Personal Assistants have the potential to truly bring out the best in the people we support.
