About the Role
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 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. Your support worker role may include assisting them with various aspects of personal care, moving and handling or positive behavioural support while 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.

- Work collaboratively with other team members to create a bespoke support plan for each individual.
What We’re Looking For
- Commitment, dedication, and a desire to support individuals with learning disabilities in achieving their goals.
- A values‑based approach; experience in care is not required but transferable skills and a passion for helping others must be demonstrated.
- The willingness to register with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) within 3 months of starting (if not already registered).
- A readiness to work varied shift patterns, including overnight support, on a part‑time contract basis.
