Let’s introduce you to Sally:
Sally is a young adult who lives in her own flat, Sally enjoys arts and crafts, photography, going out on day trips and staying active. Sally usually receives support between 4pm and 9pm on weekdays and between 10am and 9pm at weekends.
Sally is looking for a couple of new Personal Assistants (Support Workers) to join her team, to support Sally to live as independently as possible. Sally requires support with her daily living and social support. Sally needs someone who is able to listen to her and communicate well as processing information can be delayed for Sally and this can cause her some anxiety. Sally likes structure and routine as this will support her to thrive in her own environment and make the most out of life.
Sally requires her Personal Assistants to be vigilant, dedicated, have a good eye for attention to details, someone who is easy to be around, confident, works well in a team and has a strong commitment to following the strategies in place. Sally would prefer who has similar interests to her, enjoying history and physical activities such as going for walks and swimming.

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!
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.
