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 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 to 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.
