Introducing a whole new approach to professional development for Independent Support Workers
In an exciting new initiative to help small businesses across Australia grow, Mable is proud to provide independent support workers with an innovative approach to support worker training.
We have secured an exclusive deal with Enabler for a premium new training program, now available for free to active support workers on Mable.
This industry-exclusive gamified training allows workers of all experience levels to simulate real-life client scenarios through engaging mini-games at their own pace.
Ideal for busy workers who have limited time to complete training, the interactive training is a unique way for you to upskill, boost confidence and help grow your client base on Mable.
Training modules include:
Working professionally
(Duration: 40 minutes)
Ever wondered what it means when we say ‘working professionally’ and how it relates to your role as a support worker? Learn tips including:
- Common areas where ‘working professionally’ may be breached
- Solutions to prevent and address a breach of professional boundaries
- When and who to escalate concerns or issues relating to working professionally
- Why reporting or communicating is important for support workers
This knowledge can help build strategies to understand the nature of the professional relationship with your client, including inappropriate relationships and gift giving. This module also covers duty of care, legal implications and boundary setting.
