Personal Assistant Children & Young People

Being part of our Children and Young people team, your day will be varied. This can include supporting someone to take part in their favourite activities such as swimming or attending soft play. It could also mean spending a day in the house doing arts and crafts or having a movie marathon. Are you interested in working for an award winning social care charity? Personal Assistants (Support Workers) have the most important role within ENABLE Scotland 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 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.
