personal assistant Kilmarnock, Scotland
Job description
Kilmarnock
23 Hours Per week
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 David:
David loves being outdoors, going for short walks (especially on those rare sunny days in Scotland). A typical day could be going to the shops to ensure David has all the essentials he needs, or even just to have a wander around his local community. He loves to people watch in different environments. In his downtime, David enjoys watching tv and listening music. David receives support 7 days a week usually between the hours of 7am and 10pm. Sadly, it’s not always possible for David to enjoy what many people would consider these ‘simple pleasures’ without proper, dedicated support.
That is why David needs you! Will you bring your best so that David can live his best life?
