Posting a job is a great way to find new support workers. Whether you are looking for a last minute support worker, looking to add to your team of workers, or need a worker in another location, such as on a holiday, posting a job is a great way to find and hire Hireup support workers who share your interests.
This article will focus on how to post a job to the job board (both from your computer or the mobile app). When you’re ready you can check out our guide on what makes a great job post with extra tips here.
Step 1 - Post a job
On the web platform you can find the job board in the top navigation bar.
From there you can click the blue button on the left that says “Post a new job.”
On the app:
Note: from here on, the below screenshots will only be in a desktop web view, but the information also applies to our apps.
Step 2 - The where and when of your job
Next up is adding where the shift will take place, you can simply add the post code or the suburb.
Next is how often this shift will occur. Here you have three options:
- Weekly - this job will take place at this time every week
- Fortnightly - this job will take place at this time every two weeks
- One-off - this job will only occur once
From here, you’ll add the timing of your job. We have two options:
1. On a specific date - this means the shift needs to take place at a specific date and time (typically like transport to an appointment, or to fill in a shift because your regular worker is on holiday). If you’re a bit flexible with the time, like an evening routine that could be at 5:00 or 5:30 PM, you can also select that option.
2. I’m flexible - this means your job isn’t date sensitive and you can be flexible with a worker’s availability. With this option you can still provide your preferred days or even let workers know you’re open to them suggesting alternatives.
Step 3 - Your job details
Next you’ll add a quick summary of your job, this is what we’ll use as the title of your jobs when workers view the job board. We give some extra tips in our guide to a great job post.
Adding the support activities that you need a worker to do on your job is next. This helps workers know exactly what you need so that they can apply accordingly. Learn more about what these activities mean here.
Finish up your job details by describing what will happen on your job, and what you’d like from a worker. This is a great opportunity to introduce yourself, your goals, the support you require, and what you’re wanting in a support worker. You can check out more in our guide to a great job post.
Step 4 - Your worker preferences
We know that you may have preferences in gender, age, or other things from your potential workers. This is your opportunity to add that information, and we’ll use it to make sure we’re only showing jobs to workers that match those preferences.
Please note we aren’t able to 100% match the “other qualities” and we recommend sticking to keywords for example: ‘LGBTQ+ friendly’, ‘music teacher’ or ‘speaks Mandarin’.
Now you’re ready to post! Once you’ve clicked “Post job” it will be published to the Job board and sent out to workers.
What’s next?
When workers apply to your job, you’ll will receive an email and/or push notification letting you know a worker has applied.
You’ll always be able to view who has applied to your job by visiting ‘your jobs’ on either the web or the app.
