About the Role

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 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.

This unique service comprises two eight-bedded residential care homes located opposite each other. Supporting older adults, including those living with dementia, physical disabilities and complex health needs, our dedicated teams focus on delivering personalised care that promotes wellbeing, choice and meaningful daily experiences.

Example – Supporting George

George loves going to the old Cinema in Glasgow to watch classic movies and visiting places of interest. He loves football and reminiscing about big matches, especially Scotland games. George lives in a Care Home and requires support to access local amenities and ensure he remains part of the local community.

Requirements & Expectations

If you think you share the same interests and have the commitment, dedication, and above all, desire to support George to get the most out of life; then we want you. Enable needs you and your values to help us create an equal society for every person we support.

You don’t need experience in care to start your social care career with Enable. We recruit people based on their values and transferrable skills. Wherever your journey has taken you up until now, join us, and together we will forge a new path in what could potentially be the most rewarding role you have ever had!
