Creating a listing

The first step before creating a listing is ensuring you are ready. Do you have a start date in mind? Is the person receiving care (and family members) ready? Is your source of funding ready?

Make sure these are finalised before creating a listing.

Once ready, follow these simple steps and you’ll have a great listing ready to go in no time:

What do you need?

To find the right person, start by writing down the different things you want help with. By doing this, it will:

• Help you figure out what you need and the sort of helper you’re looking for
• Describe the skills and experience a worker needs for the role
• Set clear expectations around duties and relationships. 

You might find you have a list of around 10-20 pretty detailed activities. Once you’ve got a master list of the things you need help with, group them into 5-10 general points. This will help you to fill out your job listing.

Keep your list simple and straightforward. Describe the services you're looking for and the skills your worker needs or would be ideal. An example of a required or ideal skill might be a full driver’s licence/experienced driver, experience using a hoist, knowledge of how to bathe and dress a client safely or being able to speak a certain language.
