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.

Meet Jack

Jack is a kind, outdoors-loving individual who enjoys simple routines and familiar places. His days often include peaceful walks in one of his favourite parks, a drive or a trip to the shops in the morning, and lunch at home. Jack also enjoys spending time in his garden and relaxing on his sensory swing.

In the afternoons, he likes to go out again for another local walk before settling in for dinner. Jack thrives on consistency and familiarity in his environment and daily activities.

Jack receives support 7 days a week between 7am and 9pm. While many of the activities Jack enjoys may seem like simple pleasures, he isn’t able to experience them fully without the right support in place.

That’s where you come in.

Could you be the person who helps Jack live life to the fullest?

We're looking for dedicated, compassionate support staff who can bring their best every day—so Jack can enjoy his.

If you think you share the same interests and have the commitment, dedication, and above all, desire to support Jack to get the most out of life; then 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 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!
