Hello, nice to meet you! We’re Hireup, an online platform, and community for people with disability and their families, anywhere in Australia, to find, hire and manage local support workers who fit their needs and share their interests. We are growing our community nationally, so now is the perfect time to join the team.


About Hireup
At Hireup, you’ll become a critical part of an exciting team. Whether it’s support with personal care, getting to work or catching a footy game, we give individuals the tools and technology to pursue a good life on their own terms - a life of choice, independence and control.


Behaviour Support -  Duties and Responsibilities:
The support you will provide to someone with complex support needs varies for each person. Support needs and goals are directed by the person or their informal supports. Implement safe and effective infection control, identify risk and work within the parameters of your role.

They may include and not limited to
• Transport to appointments
• Shopping
• Personal care
• Reading and implementing complex support plans
• Support with social and community connections
• Requirements for complex support such as managing crisis and
assisting clients to access their professional networks.

Hours/Days of Work:
Hireup promotes flexibility in agreement with the individual or family you are working
with. Hours and days of work will vary and will be dependent on what the client
requires. No shift is the same.
Skills Required:

• Passion for bringing the best out of people through a positive approach to behaviour support

• Experience in reading and implementing Positive Behaviour Support Plans

• Ability to report and manage the use of restrictive practices, potential risks and incidents.

The skills required to complete the work will vary depending on the needs of the person seeking support.

the long-term financial security of our workers. A current chart of the pay rates will be discussed.

do their best work. We provide paid training for support workers to
access learning opportunities and develop their skills. Plus there are
extra opportunities like support worker conferences and Hireup events.

of insurances covering all shifts worked on Hireup, including workers'
