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 with a learning disability 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.
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 Scott:
Scott loves being active, outdoors and going for walks (especially on those rare sunny days in Scotland). A typical day could start by supporting Scott with some personal care and getting ready for the day ahead. Scott might need to go to the shops to ensure he has all the essentials he needs, or even just to have a wander around his local community. In his downtime, Scott enjoys watching movies, playing video games and just having a general blether with friends. Scott requires some help preparing meals but likes to be involved in the process. Scott leads a very active life and enjoys attending many social clubs with his friends. He enjoys taking part in karaoke and games like bingo and Boccia. Scott receives support 7 days a week and requires overnight support. Sadly, it’s not always possible for Scott to enjoy what many people would consider these ‘simple pleasures’ without proper, dedicated support.
That is why Scott needs you! Will you bring your best so that Scott can live his best life?
