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 who requires support to achieve their goals and outcomes – whatever they may be! Each person we support has different support requirements, 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. 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. People who know me would say I am a lively, likeable and intriguing young man. I have Autism Spectrum Disorder and a learning disability and require a lot of additional support with day to day living. At times, I can become anxious and upset and I need my team to help me with this - my team are trained in PAMOVA in order to support me during these times. Some of the things I enjoy doing include going for a walk, getting out for a drive in my van (which my staff drive for me), visiting parks and using the swings. I also enjoy playing games at home and particularly enjoy Lego and jigsaws."
