Everybody has their own unique support needs, personal preferences, and goals.

Writing a good job post helps a Support Worker to understand what these are and the skills, attributes, and experience they need to support you well and safely.

Don't worry about having to write every little detail about the job straight away. When somebody applies who might be a good match, you will have the opportunity to chat message and give them more information, ask questions, or even organise a 'Meet and Greet' where you can chat in person.

  • It's a great way to let a Support Worker know a bit more about who they will be working with before meeting each other.

  • Finding a Support Worker with shared interests and hobbies, the right beliefs and values, and your preferred personality traits can make a huge difference.

When & Where?

  • This is where you can let Support Workers know what your ideal days and times are. You can be as flexible with these times as you need to be.

  • Some people might already know that they need support for "2 hours every Tuesday and Thursday morning, between 9:00am - 11:00am"

  • For others it could be more flexible such as "3 hours in the afternoon, any weekday"
