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 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 support worker role 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 share the same dreams and aspirations as we do; they just too often do not get the opportunity to experience these same opportunities. Whatever your interests are; be it sewing, baking, having a cup of tea and chat, horse riding, swimming, or hill-walking, we want to hear from you!
Let us introduce you to Jane:
Jane is an older lady who enjoys life. She enjoys socialising and attending local events like lunch clubs, shows, and pantomimes!
Jane has her own mobility car and enjoys getting out for runs and short breaks.
Jane has difficulties communicating verbally but can communicate easily through other methods.
Jane has mobility issues and although she can walk short distances within her home, she uses a wheelchair for getting out and about.
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.
