We have revised our job application form so independent support workers can now easily select and state when they are available for a shift.
This change makes it easier for support workers to connect with local clients who are ready to book support.
For clients, they can now easily view their support worker’s availability to provide support directly in their job application, making connecting with support workers simpler and more efficient.
What’s changed
For support workers
When applying for jobs, you will now have 2 pathways to nominate the time slots that you are available to support a client in your job application:
- If a client has specifically listed when they need support in their job post, you must now select at least one of these time slots to apply for the job.
- If a client has not specified dates and times, you must list your availability. This will give the client more key information to make a decision on who to work with and increase the likelihood of your application being approved.
For clients
If you have listed specific dates or times that you need support in your job post, support workers must now select at least one of these time slots to apply for your job.
If you are flexible, support workers now have to proactively inform you of their availability in their application.
All of the information about the support worker’s nominated availability will be visible in their application summary card in Manage workers.
