Various shift patterns
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 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 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. 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 role and we are specifically looking for new staff to take on shifts to cover various shift patterns. This role does involve some evening and weekend working.
Qualifications and Skills
- The ability to adapt your communication style in order to develop successful and enjoyable relationships with the people we support.
- The commitment to work with individuals through their personal support plans to ensure people achieve their goals and outcomes and celebrate their successes.
- A positive and flexible outlook to your work and be able to work on your own and as part of a team.
