35 HOURS PER WEEK

NIGHT SHIFT

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.

Moffat Street is a Specialist Dementia Service in the heart of the Gorbals. We support 8 adults with a diagnosis of Dementia in a 24 hours care setting. We support individuals to be as independent as possible and be actively involved in the local community.

We invite applications from people who share our commitment to helping others. You don’t need prior experience in care to start a social care career with Enable. We recruit based on 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.
