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.
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.
David loves being busy, experiencing new activities and meeting new people. He also loves music, has an eclectic taste and especially enjoys musicals and attending live music gigs. He likes the cinema, and particularly enjoys his immediate neighbourhood of the Botanic Garden's, Inverleith Park and Stockbridge. His family are very important to him and will continue to be close to him.
David is a wheelchair user as a result of having cerebral palsy, however he has never let this hold him back and has travelled extensively including Africa, USA, Canada and Europe where he has enjoyed activities such as skiing and safari. David has a wheelchair adapted car which makes exploring his immediate area and further afield very convenient.
A typical week for David might include supporting him with personal tasks, helping to look after his Guinea Pigs, maintaining his house, days out at a wonderful creative arts organisation in central Edinburgh, a dance session at DanceBase in the Grassmarket, chilling at his apartment listening to music, socialising with friends and family, eating out and maybe attending a concert.
That is why David needs you! Will you bring your best so that David can live his best life?
