About the role

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.

Beacon House is a care home which provides 24-hour support to 8 adults with learning disabilities in a comfortable, relaxing environment. We provide support in all aspects of their lives, while promoting choice and independence. We support people to live life to the fullest.

What you will support

Help transform lives like J’s. I’m J and I reside in the Beacon House Project with 7 other people. I have a learning disability, and physical conditions which affect my health. I love music and it is a special interest of mine. I enjoy taking part in music class, listening to music and playing my guitar. I like to be the boss, attend my club at the Glenburn where I help the staff, play bingo and have a nice lunch. I am a Celtic fan and enjoy watching games.

When it comes to supporting me, you will help me to do all the things I enjoy, share my good morals and values and promote my independence. I enjoy having a bit of banter and good conversation. Are you ready to make a real difference to me and people like me?

Qualifications and requirements

If you think you share the same interests and have the commitment, dedication, and above all, desire to support me to get the most out of life, please apply now. Enable needs you and your values to help us create an equal society for every person we support. You don’t need experience in care to start your social care career with Enable. We recruit people based on their values and transferable skills. Wherever your journey has taken you up until now, join us, and together we will forge a new path in what could potentially be the most rewarding role you have ever had!
