• Enable creates a bespoke team around every individual we support, and the team of Personal Assistants work collaboratively to ensure the safety, wellbeing and aspirations of the people we support are met.
• 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 rewarding and diverse. Personal Assistants at their best have the potential to truly bring out the best in the people we support.
