Job description

Sessional Childcare Practitioner - Buttercups

Are you interested in working for an award winning social care charity?

Childcare Practitioners (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 Childcare Practitioners 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 Childcare Practitioners 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, Childcare Practitioners at their best have the potential to truly bring out the best in the people we support.

Let us introduce you to Rosie:

Rosie loves dancing and listening to music, being outdoors, visiting the park, running, climbing and going on adventures. Rosie also loves baking and decorating cakes. Rosie will introduce you to her teddies Haggis and Ginger who also come to stay at Buttercup House. Rosie is very sociable and gets excited when she talks about her dog Penny. Rosie loves Arts & Crafts and playing games with her friends

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

About You

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