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. 

 

Let us introduce you to Michael.

Michael has complex needs and is seeking a compassionate and dedicated individual to make a real difference . The rewarding role involves assisting Michael with daily routines, ensuring comfort, dignity and promoting well-being.

Michael lives at home with his family.

Michael requires a personal assistant to provide full support with personal care and preparation for his planned activity that day.

At home Michael enjoys playing board games, games on his laptop, listening to music and watching movies.

Out in the community Michael enjoys support to go for scenic walks, going for lunch, to the cinema, ice skating and other fun activities.

Michael also likes support to take him to his local club, where he enjoys meeting up with friends.

Sadly, it’s not always possible for Michael to enjoy what many people would consider these ‘simple pleasures’ without proper, dedicated support. That is why Michael needs you! Will you bring your best so that Michael can live his best life?

About You

If you think you share the same interests and have the commitment, dedication, and above all, desire to support Michael 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 we support.
