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.

Help transform lives like S

My name is S I'm 16 years old. When I arrived in Glasgow, I was accommodated in Kelvin. I had a very tough journey getting to the UK, my family still live in my hometown and in danger to the ongoing war. Staff at Kelvin are supporting me to live independently, teaching me how to keep my personal space tidy, help with managing money and buying food.

I enjoy all sports and love playing as part of a team. In Kelvin I play dominoes and staff help me with my homework.

Sometimes, the memories of back home can give me sleep tremors. That's why having supportive people around is crucial. It's important that they understand my journey and offer non-judgmental support, with their help, I believe my future is looking very bright.

Are you ready to make a real difference to the people we support at Kelvin.
