Each person we support has different needs, so your role may include assisting with personal care, moving and handling, or positive behavioural support, while helping expand their social networks and connections.

Enable creates a bespoke team around each individual, and our Personal Assistants work collaboratively to ensure safety, wellbeing, and aspirations are met.

The Best in You Brings Out the Best in Me

The people we support have diverse interests and hobbies and share many dreams and aspirations. They often lack opportunities to pursue these passions. So, whether your interests are sewing, baking, having a cup of tea and chat, horse riding, swimming, or hill-walking, we want to hear from you!

A career with Enable is rewarding and diverse. Personal Assistants who are at their best can truly bring out the best in the people we support.

If you share our values and are committed, dedicated, and eager to support individuals in making the most of life and becoming inclusive members of society, please apply now!
