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.

The people we support have varied interests and dreams and deserve opportunities to participate in everyday activities. A career with Enable is rewarding and diverse; Personal Assistants at their best help bring out the best in the people we support.

The people we support have varying needs and may require assistance with day-to-day tasks such as personal care, meal preparation and administering medication.
