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 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 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!
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.
Based in Kirkintilloch, Ravenswood is a residential interim support service for people who are at risk of/have experience of homelessness. It’s a safe, supportive environment where people can gain skills and confidence and start to plan the rest of their lives.
You may be required to support people at Ravenswood in the following areas: mental health, substance use, alcohol use, relationships, budgeting, anger management and other general life skills. We are looking for personal assistants who are open, flexible, non-judgmental and compassionate.
The Ravenswood Service is looking for enthusiastic personal assistants who can think on their feet and are able to help to make a real difference to people we support. The project provides tenancy sustainment skills for up to seventeen individuals, in a comfortable relaxing environment. When people come to stay with us, they require intense support. Alongside housing support, we also provide various leisure activities.
