About The Role
Mauchline – 14 hours per week, 10:00‑17:30 shift pattern, £13.45 hourly rate.
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.
Let Us Introduce You To Zara
Zara loves spending time doing her jigsaws and going out in her car to the shops, bowling, swimming and just for a drive. A typical day could be going to the shops to ensure Zara has all the essentials she needs, or even going out for the day at the zoo. In her downtime, Zara enjoys watching movies on her DVD player, doing her jigsaws and just having a general conversation with friends. Zara receives support 7 days a week usually between the hours of 10am and 5:30pm. Sadly, it’s not always possible for Zara to enjoy what many people would consider these ‘simple pleasures’ without proper, dedicated support.
That is why Zara needs you! Will you bring your best so that Zara can live her best life?
About You
If you think you share the same interests and have the commitment, dedication, and above all, desire to support Zara 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 we support.
