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.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of Enable, where we positively impact the lives of those we support in our various services across Glasgow and Ayrshire. Located in Stevenston, North Ayrshire, Roslin House is a state of the art 8 bedded respite service that supports children and young people ages 5 - 18 with additional support needs to enjoy short stays.

We are looking for someone to join our dedicated team of childcare practitioners, who will support the Registered Service Manager to implement innovation whilst maintaining a positive environment for both those we support and our amazing staff group within the Roslin House Project. Our service is truly fantastic. We are privileged to have the opportunity to be part of the lives of an inspiring, unique and amazing group of children and young people. We get to see them growing up and support them to live their best lives. We are looking for someone who is passionate, fun, caring and dedicated to join our staff team to – if that’s you we would love to hear from you.

Are you ready to make a real difference to everyone at the Roslin House Project?

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