Founded in early 2015 and based in Sydney, Hireup is a trusted 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 for getting to work, playing chess or taking the scenic route, Hireup gives people the tools they need to live the most flexible, seamless and supported life possible. With over 60,000 registered users in communities all across Australia, Hireup is a national network of local supports. As a purpose-led organisation, we promote a culture defined by its humanity, curiosity and creativity, and allow this to infuse our services, product and people.

The Hireup team is focused on delivering a quality experience for our users, at the heart of which is our Service team. Comprised of our Community Support, Trust and Safety and Incident Response teams, the Service team is responsible for the wellbeing and satisfaction of our users. As frontline staff, our Service team listens with intent and responds with integrity in its efforts to ensure our users feel heard, supported and satisfied.

Our Incident Response Coordinator ensures that all reported incidents are correctly investigated, and followed-up in a fair and timely manner, holding our communities best interests at their core. The Incident Response Coordinator is also excellent at listening to feedback and documenting all incidents to ensure the relevant reporting is effectively managed and our Trust and Safety measures can be continuously informed by our users.
