Pros

- Flexible working arrangements, some people drop down to part time for periods of time - Strong focus on improving the quality of life for people living with disability - Fortnightly personal development time - Good remuneration - 4 wellbeing days and 5 days for learning leave each year - Great CEO, personable and kind, genuinely trying to help people - Great CTO

Cons

- Internal politics was really bad at one point in time, has gotten a lot better in recent times - Slow-ish pace can be frustrating, especially with an increase in competition in the sector - General start-up/scale-up growing pains, uncertainty of role, or progression paths, these are also getting better though. - No equity or bonuses, understandable given the majority of the company's revenue comes from the NDIS, but still something you might want to consider.

Pros

- onboarding training, additional upskilling options, and partnerships with registered training organisations - many NDIS participants and providers already use the platform - clients and providers post on the job board when looking for support workers - clients and providers can be contacted directly - organise bookings directly with clients / account managers - arrange meet and greets with clients, family members and carers before mutually agreeing to commence shifts - incident reporting managed through Hireup and their incident response team - helpful and professional staff on the call lines, including for incident response check-ins as needed - casual employment through Hireup, no ABN required - Hireup manages invoices, payroll, tax, and can provide confirmation of total hours worked

Cons

- building up bookings and repeat cients can be difficult when first starting. - minimum requirements for support plans allow little detail, so they are not always filled in sufficiently to start shifts in my perspective. It's important to ask clients about their support needs, expectations of supports, what bookings will involve, and communicate your level of training/experience before commencing (with the safety for the client, yourself and others in mind at all times). - no direct manager, so Hireup cannot provide a professional reference (a client, their family member, or another provider may be able to). - I haven't seen any in-person training through Hireup, only partnerships with other organisations who can provide in-person training if you are eligible and available at those specific times.

Pros

I like having the ability to choose when I want to work. The platform is easy to use.

Cons

None that I can think of. I do wish there were more clients on the platform.
