Darnley
Full time, Part time and sessional contracts available
Do you have an outgoing, fun and friendly character? Are you interested in supporting George and making a real difference in his life? George is a gentleman currently in hospital after a decline in his physical health. George will be moving to a new home to start living his life again and he needs your help to achieve this dream!
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 George to achieve his goals and outcomes – whatever they may be!
Enable creates a bespoke team around every individual we support. George’s team of Personal Assistants will work collaboratively to ensure his safety, wellbeing, and aspirations are met.
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 chance 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 George:
George is a sociable man in his 40s who always has a smile on his face and enjoys talking to new people and making people laugh! He enjoys good banter with the people around him. George also loves music and will happily sing along to his CDs, YouTube, or Alexa. George also likes films, whether it be on old VHSs, DVDs, or going to the cinema.
George has specific health and mobility needs, so your role as Personal Assistant will include assisting George with various aspects of personal care, moving and handling, and meeting his health needs whilst expanding his social networks and connections.
George will be moving into a house where 2 other gentlemen with similar needs reside. A typical day could be supporting George and his housemates with personal tasks within their home, maintaining their house, helping them to stay connected to family, and assisting them to have new experiences and connections within the community.
