Job description

Overview

About The Role: Dunoon – £12.82 per hour. 16 hours per week including overnight support (11am–11am).

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 you will be supporting someone with a learning disability to achieve their goals and outcomes.

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

That is why Ronald needs you! Ronald has a wide variety of interests and activities. He is active and out daily. He enjoys music (60s–80s), visiting local cafes and shops, a weekly club in Greenock, and travelling on public transport. He also likes short breaks and concerts. Ronald requires a PA who is calm and confident to support him with anxiety and to remain well, fit and exercised; attends training and follows strategies to support Ronald with anxiety.

Will you bring your best so that Ronald can live his best life?

About You

If you think you share the same interests and have the commitment, dedication, and above all, the desire to support Ronald to get the most out of life, then please apply now!
