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 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 Neil, James and Mary:
Neil is nonverbal and uses his own version of Makaton to communicate. Neil loves going out in his car, he likes going to local parks, riding bikes, going on the swings, playing basketball or just being out for a drive. Neil attends a day centre Monday - Friday for a few hours a day and does not require support while he is there. On a day in the house Neil likes to sit and watch movies or listen to music. He enjoys nursery rhymes and his favourite movie is Shrek. Neil requires support with all aspects of his daily life like medication administering, meal preparation and personal care.
Shift times vary however can work a range of shifts of 10am - 10pm, 8am - 11am, 2pm - 10pm or Waking nightshifts from 10pm - 8am.
Neil requires a person centred approach which will give him the dedicated support he deserves to be able to reach all his goals.
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.
Let us introduce you to Mary:
Mary loves going out in her garden, especially to feed the birds. Mary enjoys going out for a drive in her car and will sing her favourite songs along the way. A typical day for Mary would be spending time looking at her favourite items, singing songs and having a chat and spending time with the people around her. You can always find Mary drinking a cup of tea and she loves to sit and have a tea and a biscuit.
Mary receives support at all times and requires support with her medication, personal care, meal preparation and all other areas of her life. Shift patterns are 12hr shifts from 8pm - 8am and waking nightshift.
That is why Neil, James and Mary need you! Will you bring your best so that they can live their best lives?
