Connecting with support workers

Clear, timely communication helps everyone understand the support requirements and what will happen next. 

Calling a worker 

You can call a worker from the Portal within their profile. Calling can be useful when you need to confirm availability or clarify an important detail before accepting an application. 

Messaging a worker 

Use the Portal’s Chat function in the header to send a message to a worker. The message is delivered through the worker’s app. If a message remains unread, the platform will send the worker a reminder. 

Use Chat to communicate about practical booking matters, such as: 

  • availability 
  • meeting points 
  • relevant job details 
  • changes that need to be confirmed. 

For urgent matters, call the worker or contact Mobility rather than relying only on Chat. 

Managing worker preferences or exclusions 

If a recipient does not want a particular worker to provide support again, contact Mobility. 

Mobility can manage an exclusion for an individual recipient or, where appropriate, for the provider’s organisation. 

Explain whether the request applies to: 

  • one recipient only, or 
  • all recipients supported by your organisation. 

Do not rely on job notes to manage an exclusion. Contact Mobility so the appropriate restriction can be applied.
