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 Simon:
We are looking for a caring, enthusiastic, and reliable Personal Assistant to support a young man who enjoys being active and spending time out in his community. He loves going for walks, spending time outdoors, visiting his local shops, and going to the gym. He also enjoys playing with his ball and relaxing at home watching his favourite YouTube videos.
Simon is keen to take part in meaningful activities and continue developing important life skills that promote his independence and confidence. He prefers quieter environments and does not enjoy loud or crowded places, so support should be provided in a calm, patient, and understanding manner.
The ideal candidate will be able to build a positive and trusting relationship, encourage participation in activities he enjoys, and support him to achieve his personal goals while ensuring he feels comfortable, valued, and included.
That is why Simon needs you! Will you bring your best so that Simon can live his best life?
