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 B:
B loves company, sitting chatting and getting to know staff, watching old comedy shows/Disney films/Music and shopping! She will spend her support times going shopping with staff and loves a wander round and a bargain from the charity shop. B loves cooking with staff and enjoys trying new recipes then enjoying the meal with staff. B loves nothing more than watching Only Fools & Horses having a good laugh with staff reminiscing about the past. B takes pride in her flat and staff support her with daily household tasks. B needs support to manage her finances, medications and attend appointments and enjoys popping for a coffee when out. Her family are important to her and she will talk you through all the photos she has on her walls when you visit her flat. B wishes the staff to encourage and support her to be as independent as she can be.
That is why B needs you! Will you bring your best so that B can live her best life?
