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.
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 us introduce you to Debbie:

Personal Assistant for Mr Ahmed
Mr Ahmed is a warm, friendly and kind-natured person who is looking for a PA to help support his daily activities. Every day is unique, but activities might include going for walks in the nearby park, attending sessions at a local day centre, or simply spending quality time at home.

The right person to work with Mr Ahmed would be someone friendly, active, good at timekeeping and who uses a hands-on approach. Although not essential, it would also be ideal to find someone who has a car and speaks Urdu.

Work takes place in the Southside of Glasgow. You would be expected to work 16 hours a week, split over 4 days per week (Monday – Thursday) for 4 hours each day. Ideal shift times would be 10.00AM – 2.00PM, but this is negotiable for the right candidate. The hourly rate for this role is £13.60.
To apply, please send your CV to par@gcil.org.uk with the reference MA/LD/1.25 in the subject line and body of the email. For more information, please reach out to GCIL at 0141 550 4455. We look forward to hearing from you!
