Full job description
EASTERHOUSE, GLASGOW
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 with a learning disability 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.
ENABLE Scotland 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
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.
Let’s introduce you to James:James is a quiet person who likes his own space. James does not use words to communicate and his staff need to be very observant as they will read his facial expressions to gauge how he is feeling and what he needs. James enjoys long walks and keeping active, some of the activities he likes include bowling, swimming, going to the gym and visiting museums. James is sensitive to sensory input and can be triggered in situations that are new to him or where he doesn’t feel comfortable. James’ staff will need to support him through these times and will receive full training in order to do so.
Do you have what it takes to support James? Will you bring your best so that James can live his best life?
