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:
Debbie loves being out and about, going to the cinema, shopping days locally and further afield and attending her church group. A typical day starts supporting Debbie with personal care and her household tasks before heading out for the day. In her downtime, Debbie enjoys watching movies, knitting and arts and crafts. Debbie receives support 7 days a week between the hours of 8am and 11pm. This post would suit someone local to Debbie due to start and end times of the shifts. Debbie is looking for a PA who is upbeat, confident and dedicated to supporting her with the activities she enjoys.
That is why Debbie needs you! Will you bring your best so that Debbie can live her best life?

Let us introduce you to Jamie:
Jamie loves being outdoors, going for walks (especially on those rare sunny days in Scotland) and just being as generally active as possible. A typical day could be going to the shops to ensure has all the essentials he needs, or even just to have a wander around his local community. In his downtime, Jamie enjoys watching movies, playing video games and just having a general blether with friends. Jamie lives alone in his own home and requires 1:1 support at all times. Sadly, it’s not always possible for Jamie to enjoy what many people would consider these ‘simple pleasures’ without proper, dedicated support due to his epilepsy and learning disability.
That is why Jamie needs you! Will you bring your best so that Jamie can live his best life?
