An exciting opportunity to be part of a new community in Largs.

You will be working as part of a team of Personal Assistants supporting people in their new homes for a community of adults who have a range of support needs.

Some people will require support with personal care and maintaining their home, others will require support with accessing the local and wider community - or a combination.

This is a brand new development which uses the latest technology to support people to maintain independence in transitioning to their new - and for some their first - home.

Staff are on site 24 hours per day to provide support when required.

Personal Assistants (Support Workers) have the most important role within ENABLE Scotland 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 Scotland 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.
