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 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.

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.

Let us introduce you to Emma

Emma is a young woman who lives in her own home where she receives one to one support. She loves likes to keep her home clean and tidy and can do most of this herself.

Emma loves music and knows the words and actions to most songs. She loves dancing and excercise classes on her projector and she loves movies, especially Disney movies. Emma enjoys arts and crafts as well as assisting with her meal preparations.

She is very caring and loves chatting, listening and playing games.

Emma needs her team to be patient, routine focused and to follow her plans as this allows Emma to enjoy her home and activities. Emma is looking for new opportunities for herself and to begin going out and about in the community as she is not always able to do this. She needs a Personal Assistant who can assist her to build confidence and open up the new things with her. Emma can communicate verbally and also uses PECS to assist with planning her day and activities.

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

If you think you share the same interests and have the commitment, dedication, and above all, desire to support Emma to get the most out of life; then Enable needs you and your values to help us create an equal society for every person we support.

You don't need experience in care to start your social care career with Enable. We recruit people based on their values and transferrable skills. Wherever your journey has taken you up until now, join us, and together we will forge a new path in what could potentially be the most rewarding role you have ever had!
