About The Role

£12.82 per hour
38 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 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.
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 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.
The Cherrywood Project is based in the Elderslie area of Paisley. We are a 9 bedded service; we work over 2 bungalows. We support individuals with profound needs and Autism the people we support have lived together for a long time and are very settled, we have a great team here at Cherrywood and would like for you to come and join us and develop your social skills and knowledge.
Help transform lives like M’s.
Hi, I live at Cherrywood I have lived here for 15 years. I live in a bungalow with my other 3 friends. I love a takeaway on a Saturday night and GBX on with the disco lights. I also like when my mum and dad come to visit a couple of days a week.
I enjoy going to concerts and days out on the minibus. I love my music, I prefer dance tunes. I also enjoy my music class on a Thursday, my aromatherapy on a Monday and I like to bake and help staff to make the dinner. I feel very special when I am involved.
When it comes to supporting me, I require someone who can support me, chat to me and make me feel comfortable. I also require all aspects of personal care; I love a bath with my bath bombs and I like this to be an activity like a pamper session therefore you must have patience and lots of time to spend with me.
Don’t worry if you don’t have prior experience, you will work with experienced staff, and training will be given. All I want is a good listener, and someone who is compassionate.
