Personal Assistants

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 people with support needs 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., The people we support all have varying needs and are looking for new Personal Assistants to help them with some of their day to day needs such as personal care, meal preparation and administering medication. You may be supporting someone who requires moving and handling and full training will be required. This is a varied to role and we are specifically looking for new staff to take on shifts to cover nights (4pm - 10pm) and weekends Sadly, it's not always possible for the people we support to manage what many people would consider daily tasks without proper, dedicated support. We also support some children after school and social activities at weekends.
