About the role
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 people with support needs 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 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.
The people we support all have varying needs and are looking for new Personal Assistants to help them with some of their day to day needs such as personal care, meal preparation and administering medication. You may be supporting someone who requires moving and handling and full training will be required. We have a variety of shifts available and will consider full and part time staff. Sadly, it’s not always possible for the people we support to manage what many people would consider daily tasks without proper, dedicated support.
Responsibilities
* Provide personal care, meal preparation and, where required, administer medication in line with individual support plans.
* Assist with moving and handling and other daily living tasks as needed.
* Support individuals to achieve their goals and outcomes and expand social networks and connections.
* Follow individual personal support plans and document progress and any changes.
* Work with teams to ensure a positive and flexible approach, both independently and as part of a group.
Qualifications & requirements
* No previous care experience required; we recruit based on values and transferable skills.
* Ability to adapt communication style to build successful and enjoyable relationships with the people we support.
* Commitment to work with individuals through their personal support plans to help them achieve goals and celebrate successes.
* Positive and flexible outlook; able to work on your own or as part of a team.
* Willingness to undertake training including moving and handling where required.
If this is you, please apply now. Enable needs you and your values to help create an equal society for every person who has support needs. You may not need care experience to start a social care career with Enable; we recruit people based on values and transferable skills. Wherever your journey has taken you, join us, and together we will forge a new path in what could potentially be the most rewarding role you have ever had.
