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

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 who requires support to achieve their goals and outcomes – whatever they may be!

Each person we support has different support requirements, 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. 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.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of De Paul House service. Located in Govan, DePaul House is a residential support service for young adults transitioning into independent living. Situated in 3 linked properties each of the 9 flats have access to the communal garden and amenities. It is a supportive environment where our residents work towards gaining the necessary skills to secure and maintain a tenancy of their own.

Let us introduce you to Max

Hi, I’m Max and I live in De Paul House. Having a full flat to myself, which is one of the 9 flats, in the project gives me my own space and I have the option to come to communal areas if I want to, so it is a good balance.

As a young adult who has experienced trauma and adverse childhood experiences, including separation and loss this at times has caused me to display what others see as challenging behaviour. I would like to grow and gain independent living skills which include managing money, shopping and cooking skills, managing my health, building my training and employability skills and addressing any addictive behaviours.

To achieve this I would like someone to support me by helping me to access resources like mental, physical and sexual health services, create budget plans and weekly shopping lists, help me keep my flat tidy and laundry up to date, access addiction services, offer me weekly flat checks and monthly key sessions and support me to recognise my own potential and self worth through self-esteem building achievements.

Are you ready to make a real difference to me and people like me?

That is why Max needs you! Will you bring your best so that Max can live his best life?
