Description du poste

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.

Meet Billy

Billy is a friendly gentleman with a learning disability who is looking for caring and dedicated support staff to join his team.

Billy is a wheelchair user and is non-verbal, however he understands direction and instruction very well. Staff who support Billy should be patient, attentive and include him in all aspects of daily life and activities.

Billy enjoys spending time with others and especially loves visits from his mum, dad, sister and brother-in-law. He enjoys getting out and about on outings, watching people and traffic, and being involved in everything going on around him. One of Billy’s favourite activities is attending his music group, which he really enjoys.

Billy requires full support with all aspects of daily living including medication, personal care, meals and general day-to-day support.

This role would suit someone who is kind, observant and enjoys building positive relationships while supporting Billy to live a happy and fulfilling life
