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 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 Melanie:
Melanie has a real passion for life and a get up and go attitude. Melanie is an intelligent and articulate young lady who enjoys speaking up for others who may struggle to do so for themselves. Melanie volunteers at various charities and lights up every room she enters.
Melanie is very house proud and her home reflects her personality. On Saturday night Melanie's favourite thing to do is to have some fun with her staff while watching Saturday night tv. Lola at times can feel down so need staff there to listen and support and help her talk through her thoughts.
That is why Melanie needs you! Will you bring your best so that Melanie can live her best life?
About You
If you think you share the same interests and have the commitment, dedication, and above all, desire to support Melanie to get the most out of life; then please apply now!
