Penicuik, United Kingdom CRA Group Ltd Full time

**Due to exponential growth of our services, we have a number of sessional (bank) opportunities in Edinburgh including**:
**Gilmerton, Sighthill, Longstone, Westerhailes and Lanark Road.**

**(Vacancies also available in East Lothian, Midlothian and West Lothian)**

Everyone who needs support should get support In order to achieve this we need you

As a result of the great work our frontline workers do on a day to day basis, we are continually getting requests to support more and more people in the area. Would you like to be part of these successful teams?

So what can you expect?

Month 1: Complete all training and begin shadow shifts in our current services

Months 2 & 3: Work within our current services to enable you to grow in your knowledge, skills and experience and to understand what we are trying to achieve for each individual person we support

From month 4 onwards
- As new people come to us requiring support, you will then be matched accordingly
- Work as part of a multi-disciplinary team to help design the best service for that person
- Highlight and partake in any new training required
- Work as part of a team to ensure that the support the person receives is continually being assessed and evolves to ensure it is best for that individual

To be part of this team you need to be creative, flexible and resilient. When a person chooses to move their support to ENABLE Scotland or is about to experience support for the first time, it can be quite a stressful time for that individual and all involved. You need to want the best for that person and understand that one size does not fit all. Sometimes with new services it can take weeks or months to uncover the full needs of that individual, and for that reason we need people who have the creativity to help design that service and continually re-evaluate, and also be flexible as any needs change.

Teamwork is paramount to the success of each new service we provide. The team needs to build up a resilience and support each other to help the person we support to achieve their goals.

Please see that attached job description for a general idea of the duties required within the role of a Personal Assistant. These will change depending on the needs of the people you are matched with.

ENABLE Scotland needs **you **and **your **values to help us create an equal society for every person who has a learning disability.

You don't need experience in care to start your career with ENABLE Scotland. We recruit people based on their values and transferrable skills. Wherever your journey has taken you up until now, join us, and together we will forge a new path in what could potentially be the most rewarding role you have ever had

Successful applicants will be able to demonstrate the following:

- The ability to adapt your communication style in order to develop successful and enjoyable relationships with the people we support.
- The commitment to work with individuals through their personal support plans to ensure people achieve their goals and outcomes and celebrate their successes.
- A willingness to provide people with support with their personal care, moving and handling and coping with stressed and distressed behaviours - full training will be provided.

ENABLE Scotland is a dynamic and vibrant organisation dedicated to improving the lives of people with learning disabilities and we are looking for motivated and driven individuals to join us in ensuring they have the same opportunities as everyone else.

We believe in developing all our staff and we provide an extensive learning programme together with in-house career development opportunities. These include, but are not limited to:

- Person Centred approaches, planning and thinking
- Introduction to autism
- Epilepsy awareness
- Moving and Handling
- Adult support and protection
- Child support and protection
- First Aid
- Positive Behaviour Support

Starting a career with ENABLE Scotland is the first step towards making a real difference in our award-winning charity's mission to help create an equal society for every person who has a learning disability.

ENABLE Scotland is an equal opportunities employer and our recruitment, selection and assessment process is based entirely on values, skills and competencies required of the specific roles.

**Note**: The successful applicant will be required to register with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) within 6 months of their start date.
