Are you interested in working for an award winning social care charity?

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.

Let us introduce you to
Barry
Barry lives in his own home and is looking for you to be part of his team.

Barry is very active and loves being out going for nature walks where he splashes in puddles and enjoys the ever-changing landscape.

Barry also enjoys some trampolining, going to the gym and going cycling.

A typical day could be supporting Barry with personal care, maintaining his house and garden, taking Barry a walk in the countryside or going for a leisurely drive, helping to prepare dinner, then spending time with his family who he is very close to.

For Barry, structure and routine is important - it would be beneficial if you have an understanding of Autism. Barry likes his team to be calm and enjoy the same things that he does. He also likes people around him who have a good sense of humour. Barry is non-verbal and relies on visual aids to communicate his needs and wishes.

It's not always possible for Barry to enjoy what many people would consider 'simple pleasures' without proper, dedicated support.
