Edinburgh Guarantee Jobs Board

Employer:

Enable is a modern, vibrant charity which strives to deliver an equal society for every citizen. We believe in equal rights for everyone through self-directed social care, employment, training, and empowering communities.

Environment:

Ours is a diverse workforce that covers frontline social care, support into employment and training, and community-based roles. The people we support recruit their own Personal Assistants (PAs). As someone's PA, you’ll be supporting them to build the courage to shine, find the strength to reach their goals, and the confidence to be all they can be. We have various full time and part time opportunities available in Edinburgh and the Lothians.

What might a day in this role look like?

Personal Assistants 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 but what we can guarantee is that you will be supporting someone with additional support needs to achieve their goals and outcomes. Each person we support has different support needs, so your role may include assisting them with various aspects of personal care, moving and handling or positive behavioural support whilst expanding their social networks and connections.

What will I learn?

We believe in developing all our staff and we provide an extensive learning programme together with in-house career development opportunities.

What qualifications/skills are required?

You don’t need experience in care to start your social care career with Enable. We recruit people based on their values and transferrable skills. Wherever your journey has taken you up until now, join us, and together we will forge a new path in what could potentially be the most rewarding role you have ever had.

Successful applicants will be able to demonstrate the following:

• The ability to adapt your communication style in order to develop successful and enjoyable relationships with the people we support.
• The commitment to work with individuals through their personal support plans to ensure people achieve their goals and outcomes and celebrate their successes.
• A positive and flexible outlook to your work, and ability to work on your own and as part of a team.
