Hireup is an online platform and community for people with disability and their families to find, hire and manage support workers that fit their needs and share their interests. Whether it’s support with getting to work or catching a local footy game, Hireup gives people the tools to live life on their own terms.

With thousands of registered users and support workers in big cities and remote communities all across Australia, Hireup is a national network of local supports, committed to delivering an individualised approach to support and community-driven future for the disability sector.

As a purpose-led organisation with over 230 HQ staff (and growing), we are dedicated to powering the evolution of the disability sector. We do this by keeping the community at the heart of our decision making and encouraging a culture defined by kindness, innovation, equality and storytelling.

We’re also proud to offer flexibility not only in terms of when people work, but also where they work. Whether you're in Sydney or across the country, we want our people to have the ability to choose where they deliver their best work - whether office-based, hybrid or fully remote, just let us know what works for you!

The Workforce team supports the definition and execution of Hireup’s long term vision and growth ambitions in relation to our support workers. Comprising three subteams, the Workforce Development team, through worker engagement and sectoral expertise, is pivotal to the success of Hireup’s mission.

As part of the Workforce Development team, your focus is on cultivating the support worker workforce in NSW. You will focus on finding new support workers and well as supporting our existing support workers.
