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

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

The Best in You Brings Out the Best in Me

The people we support have many interests, hobbies, and aspirations, just like anyone else; they often lack the opportunities to pursue them. A career with Enable is both rewarding and diverse. Support Workers at their best can truly bring out the best in the people they support.

Our supported individuals have varying needs and may require help with personal care, meal preparation, or medication administration. Some may need moving and handling assistance, for which full training will be provided. We are looking for new staff to cover various shifts, including evenings and weekends. Supporting individuals with daily tasks often requires dedicated support, which is why your commitment is essential.

If you have the dedication, commitment, and desire to support individuals in leading fulfilling lives and becoming active members of society, please apply now! Enable values your support and aims to create an inclusive society for everyone. No prior care experience is necessary; we recruit based on values and transferable skills. Whatever your background, join us and help forge a rewarding career in social care.
