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 support worker role 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. So whatever your interests are; be it sewing, baking, having a cup of tea and chat to horse riding, swimming or hill-walking, we want to hear from you!
Let us introduce you to Sarah:
My name is Sarah. Sarah is a middle aged lady who resides in the Thornliebank area of East Renfrewshire. Sarah requires support/guidance in most areas of her daily living including personal care, meal preparation, finances and the social aspect of her life. Sarah is a very sociable lady and enjoys accessing her local and wider community with support. Sarah would like to be supported by a female who will support her with - day to day living, to develop and maintain friendships in the community, and seeking out activities within her local community.
It is essential that you are effective communicator with a calm demeanour, and a can do attitude.
If you share the same interests and values, can work in partnership with me to achieve my goals, and are willing to commit yourself as a member of my staff team then; then please apply now!
That is why Sarah needs you! Will you bring your best so that Sarah can live his best life?
