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 with a learning disability to achieve their goals and outcomes – whatever they may be!

Each person we support has different support needs, 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 Scotland 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.

We deliver services to a variety of people within this area and some of the duties will include supporting people to live their best lives. We support adults with a learning disability to live in their own homes within the community and some of this support could include Personal Care, supporting with household tasks and attending various clubs or activities within the local area. Some of the people we support like to go on trips further afield with friends and would need support to do this too.

That is why our people need you! Will you bring your best so that our people can live their best life?

About You

If you think you share the same interests and have the commitment, dedication, and above all, desire to support our people to get the most out of life; then please apply now!

Enable needs you and your values to help us create an equal society for every person who has a learning disability.
