An introduction to Annie:
Annie lives in her own flat in Edinburgh and is supported to live independently. She is a lovely young woman who enjoys spending time with her team. Although she has a physical disability, she is fully capable intellectually and has numerous qualifications.
As Annie enjoys having a chat and a laugh with her team, it is important to her that they have a good sense of humour too. Annie really likes going to Edinburgh and Scotland home rugby games with her Stepdad and she regularly visits the local library for printed and audio books. Visiting nearby Sainsbury’s for shopping is also a favourite as she does love a bargain!
Annie likes watching the news, movies, and a variety of other programmes, particularly on Netflix and Disney+, and she enjoys discussing these with whoever is supporting her that day. She also enjoys watching sports on TV including tennis, athletics, and rugby.
Christmas time is her favourite time of the year as she loves the atmosphere and Christmas movies, which she tries to resist watching from September but usually fails! Annie also likes music, especially pop and rock, and enjoys watching music videos on her TV or computer.
Annie needs a dedicated team around her who are compassionate and person-centred, who will respect her wishes while providing the physical support for her to maintain her independence. She would like a team who enjoy supporting her in these interests and can make her feel happy and safe while enabling her to live her best life!
If this is you, we would love to hear from you.
That is why Annie needs you! Will you bring your best so that Annie can live her best life?
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 while 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.
If you think you share the same interests and have the commitment, dedication, and above all, desire to support Annie 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 who has a learning disability. You don't need experience in care to start your social care career with Enable. We recruit people based on their values and transferable skills. Wherever your journey has taken you up until now, join us, and together we will forge a new path in what could potentially be the most rewarding role you have ever had!
