About This Role

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 people with support needs 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.

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.

The people we support all have varying needs and are looking for new Personal Assistants to help them with some of their day to day needs such as personal care, meal preparation and administering medication. You may be supporting someone who requires moving and handling and full training will be required. This is a varied role and we are specifically looking for new staff to take on shifts to cover nights (4pm – 10pm) and weekends. Sadly, it’s not always possible for the people we support to manage what many people would consider daily tasks without proper, dedicated support. We also support some children after school and social activities at weekends.

If you think you have the commitment, dedication, and above all, desire to support individuals to get the most out of life and become an inclusive member of society; then please apply now! Enable needs you and your values to help us create an equal society for every person who has support needs. You don't need experience in care to start your social care career with Enable. We recruit people based on their values and transferrable 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!
