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 with a learning disability 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.

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.

Let us introduce you to Sarah, Ellen and Janice:

This vacancy is available at an HMO service located in West End, Glasgow shared by three wonderful ladies with additional needs and all of them have varying support requirements such as personal care, meal preparation, administering medication, shopping, café visit and visit to family. Full training will be required and will be provided. This is a varied role and you will be supporting 3 different ladies living within this service. The shift patterns vary from 8 am – 8 pm or 8 am – 6 pm and additionally weekly short shifts such as 10 am – 4 pm / 9:30 am – 2 pm to help the person we support to carry out daily tasks with the right and dedicated support.

Sarah loves being in the outdoors and is a total animal lover. Sarah's day varies depending on what she has planned, but she frequently enjoys visits to the park to feed the animals and to people watch. Sarah enjoys socialising in her local community and visiting local cafés and shops, particularly if there are fancy cars in the area for her to admire!

Ellen is a social butterfly and loves being out and about. She is a member of various clubs and groups in the local and Glasgow area and enjoys getting to know people. She is a massive Disney fan and loves all things glitz and glamour! Ellen regularly enjoys arts and craft activities where she can express herself and showcase her creative talents.

Janice enjoys being out and about in the community, especially when it involves shopping! Janice also enjoys exploring the local area and sampling the West End's cafés and shops. Janice is a massive music fan and is an 80s music fanatic.

Sadly, it’s not always possible for Sarah, Ellen and Janice to enjoy what many people would consider these ‘simple pleasures’ without proper, dedicated support.

That is why Sarah, Ellen and Janice need you! Will you bring your best so that Sarah, Ellen and Janice can live their best life?

Sarah, Ellen and Janice receive support 7 days a week, 24 hours per day.

If you think you share the same interests and have the commitment, dedication, and above all, desire to support Sarah, Ellen and Janice to get the most out of life; then please apply now!
