Are you interested in working for an award-winning social care charity?

Personal Assistants (Support Workers) play a vital role within Enable by making a positive difference every day in the lives of the people we support. No two days are the same, but what we guarantee is that you will be supporting someone to achieve their goals and outcomes—whatever they may be!

Each person we support has different needs, so your role may include assisting with personal care, moving and handling, or positive behavioral support, while helping expand their social networks and connections.

Enable creates a bespoke team around each individual, and our Personal Assistants work collaboratively to ensure safety, wellbeing, and aspirations are met.

The best in You brings out the best in Me

The people we support have diverse interests, hobbies, and dreams. They often lack opportunities to experience these. Whether you enjoy 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 rewarding and diverse. When at their best, Personal Assistants can truly bring out the best in the people they support.

If you share these interests and have the commitment, dedication, and desire to support individuals to enjoy life and become inclusive members of society, please apply now! Enable needs your values to help create an equal society for everyone with a learning disability.

No prior care experience is necessary to start your social care career with Enable. We recruit based on values and transferable skills. Whatever your background, join us and help forge a rewarding new path.

Successful applicants will demonstrate:

1. The ability to adapt communication styles to build successful relationships with the people we support.
2. A commitment to working with individuals through their personal support plans to help them achieve their goals and celebrate successes.
3. A positive, flexible attitude, with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
