Who you'll be supporting & more about the role:
You will be supporting a group of individuals moving into their own homes in Elgin with the age range of 24 to 26 year old. They will require support moving from their family homes to their own homes and will require support to learn new skills, look at new opportunities and develop their skills! This is a brand new development within Elgin which has a lot to offer in terms of the city itself and has many links to the North and South of Scotland. If is important they are supported to look at new opportunities in the community. They like to go walking and attending locals groups and clubs. Disney, Sports and being outdoors are some of their interests. Support is provided on a 1:1 and 2:1 basis. Support would be required during the day, evening and at night. They would benefit from staff who are energetic, keen to support and seen new opportunities. You must have a thirst to learn and undertake any training needed to support them successfully.

We know it takes a special person to work in social care and we recognise that not everyone that would be perfect for the role, will have professional experience. From people with vast experience in a support worker or care assistant role, from people with lived experiences who may have friends or relatives with disabilities or have looked after older relatives, to people with no experience at all. We Enable, which are at the heart of everything we do and ensure that we deliver high quality, consistent care and support.
