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

Personal Assistants (Mental Health Support) have the most important role within Enableby 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.

Annandale Street offers accommodation to elderly adults experiencing mental health issues. It’s a ground floor residence, with a homely, domestic feel. Each of the bedrooms is personalised and has its own en suite toilet. There is also a sheltered communal courtyard area, shower rooms, and a separate bathroom.

Help transform lives like James'.

Hello, my name is James and I live in the Annandale project.

I love listening to a lot of music and love to dance; I am young at heart and love nothing more than having a laugh and joke with staff.

I enjoy going out to the local shops and buying my favourite chocolate bars and cans of juice.

I like watching movies on TV.

Are you ready to make a real difference to James and the other people we support at Southside older people’s services?

If you think you share the same interests and have the commitment, dedication, and above all, desire to support M 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!
