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

Personal Assistants (Support Workers) play a vital role within Enable, making a positive difference every day to the lives of the people we support. No two days are ever the same, but one thing is certain: you'll be supporting people to achieve their goals, pursue their interests and live the life they choose.

Every person we support is unique, with their own aspirations, abilities and support needs. Depending on the individual, support may include:

• Personal care
• Medication support
• Moving and handling
• Positive behavioural support
• Supporting daily living tasks and household activities
• Accompanying people to appointments and social activities
• Building confidence, independence and meaningful relationships
• Supporting individuals to access and participate in their communities

At Enable, we create bespoke support teams around every individual, ensuring the people we support are safe and empowered to achieve the things that matter most to them.

The Best in You Brings Out the Best in Me

The people we support have the same ambitions, interests and aspirations as everyone else, but don't always have the same opportunities to pursue them.

Whether your interests include baking, arts and crafts, sport, hill walking, music, gaming, travelling or simply enjoying a good conversation, your hobbies, personality and enthusiasm could help someone discover new opportunities, build confidence and live a rich and fulfilling life.

A career with Enable is as rewarding as it is varied. By bringing your unique skills, interests and values to the role, you'll have the opportunity to make a genuine difference every day.

About You

No Experience? No Problem.

You don't need previous experience in care to start your career with Enable. We recruit based on values, attitude and transferable skills. Whether you've worked in retail, hospitality, customer service or are looking for a completely new challenge, we'll provide all the training, support and development opportunities you need to succeed.

What We're Looking For

Successful applicants will be able to demonstrate:

• The ability to build positive and meaningful relationships
• Excellent communication skills and a person-centred approach
• A commitment to supporting people to achieve their goals and aspirations
• A positive, flexible and proactive approach to work
• The ability to work independently and as part of a team
• A genuine passion for helping people live independently and make their own choices
