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.

Let us introduce you to Anna:

Anna is moving into her own home for the first time. Anna is adventurous, energetic and loves the outdoors. An average day could be going to the shops in Inverurie, gardening at Anna's local day service and maybe even hiking up Bennachie or going for a swim. Moving into her own home is a big shift for Anna, and she needs people to help her with her daily routines and learning to live independently. Anna loves to go camping, hiking and generally spending as much time in nature as possible. Anna requires a team of PAs who are adventurous as she is, but can also help her to manage day-to-day life, which Anna can find overwhelming at times. To help Anna settle into her new home, she will have two PAs with her during the day to make sure she has all the support she needs. Anna can take time to get to know new PAs, there will be robust shadowing and training to support you and Anna to get to know each other.

That is why Anna needs you! Will you bring your best so that Anna can live her best life?
