Job description

Lanark

36 Hours per week

Waking overnight support shift role, working 8pm-8am on a rotational basis

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 best in the people we support.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Lanark Project team in Lanark, South Lanarkshire. Located over two buildings within Lanark, the service is a registered care home for adults with learning disabilities. One location is a five bed home and the other location is a four bed home.

We are looking to recruit a Overnight Support Shift Personal Assistant to join our dedicated and experienced team. This role plays a vital part in ensuring the safety, wellbeing and comfort of the people we support overnight, supporting them through routines, sleep, and any care or clinical needs that arise during the night.

You will work as part of a skilled team, contributing to a calm, safe and responsive environment where the people we support feel secure and well supported at all times.

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