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!
