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 support worker role 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. So whatever your interests are; be it sewing, baking, having a cup of tea and chat, horse riding, swimming, or hill-walking, we want to hear from you!

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.

If you think you share the same interests and 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 a learning disability.

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!

Successful applicants will be able to demonstrate:

1. The ability to adapt your communication style in order to develop successful and enjoyable relationships with the people we support.
2. The commitment to work with individuals through their personal support plans to ensure people achieve their goals and outcomes and celebrate their successes.
3. A positive and flexible outlook to your work, and be able to work on your own and as part of a team.

If this is you, then please click the link to apply now. Every person we support has their own hobbies and interests, likes and dislikes, which is reflected in our person-centred recruitment processes. So, please give us as much detail about you to allow us to carry out our bespoke matching service.
