You want to be your own boss
Not all jobs require you to have a boss, and working for yourself means you are the boss! When you become a support worker on Mable, you are the owner of your small business, and that means you call the shots, whether it’s choosing who you work with, deciding how much you charge or when you take time off! If you’re keen to design your professional life on your own terms, it’s probably time you started working for yourself.
You’re reliable and independent
Working for yourself means you’ll need to be proactive when searching for work and reliable when working with clients. If you’re a self-starter, and have the right outlook when caring for potentially vulnerable people, joining Mable as an independent support worker could be the right career path for you.
The 9 to 5 doesn’t feel right for you
Although working 9 to 5 is the norm for many people, it can help to take a break once in a while. If you’re starting to crave variety, it might be time to start seeking ways you can begin working for yourself. To start that process, take a look around at your local area – see what positions are open, take note of where help is needed and remember to keep in mind your skills, experience and passion. Flexibility is one of the biggest advantages of being self-employed — you choose when you work, who you work with, and what work you do.
You’re keen to upskill
You are passionate about what you do
Being a support worker is immensely rewarding, as most support workers will tell you. The opportunity to give back to one’s community — especially through providing support to those who need aged care or disability support — is a wonderful one. If you, too, feel driven by the thought of helping those in the community (and making a career out of it!) becoming a support worker could be a great option.
