Are you interested in working for an award-winning social care charity?

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
Let us introduce you to Nicole. Nicole is a young woman who lives in her own tenancy where she receives one-to-one support. She loves to keep her home clean and tidy and can do most of this herself. Nicole requires prompts with her personal care. She loves music and knows the words and actions to most songs. She enjoys dancing and exercise classes on her projector and loves movies, especially Disney movies. Nicole enjoys arts and crafts as well as assisting with her meal preparations. She is very caring and loves chatting, listening and playing games. Nicole needs her team to be patient, routine-focused and to follow her plans as this allows her to enjoy her home and activities. Nicole is looking to open up new opportunities for herself to begin going out and about in her community as she is not always able to do this and needs a Personal Assistant who can assist her to build confidence and explore new things with her. Nicole can communicate verbally and also uses PECS to assist with planning her day and activities. That is why Nicole needs you! Will you bring your best so that Nicole can live her best life?
