  • Yellow Banner Notification? If you select a job you’re not verified for, a yellow banner appears at the top of the screen, indicating you’re missing documents.

Carefully read the Description section, which includes dates, times, and the tasks involved. 

The Details section shows the suburb location, distance from you, schedule, and whether it’s a one-off activity or an ongoing shift.

Quick Tips for Applying for Jobs:

  • Uploading Missing Documents: Can’t apply due to missing documents, tap the yellow banner as a shortcut to upload the missing documents. 
  • Customising Your Job Search: While waiting for your documents to be verified, use filters like “Support type”orJobs I’m certified for and can apply ASAP.” to narrow down the listings to those most relevant to you. This helps you not miss out on immediate opportunities.

  • Why does mobility display jobs I'm not verified for?

    We aim to provide you with a comprehensive view of all available opportunities, ensuring you're aware of potential jobs you could access. Displaying jobs you're not yet verified for highlights areas where uploading a missing document could open up more opportunities for you.

  • Why is there an 'x' next to a document in the Certifications section?

    An 'x' next to a document indicates it's missing from your profile, and you won't be able to apply for the job until it's uploaded and verified by our team. Verifications can take some time, want to only see jobs you're verified for? Use the filters to show "Jobs I'm certified and can apply ASAP", or continue browsing all jobs to see other opportunities you may be missing documents for.

  • Why do I need to write a cover letter?

    Writing a cover letter is entirely optional, but it can help your application stand out. A brief cover letter that highlights relevant skills, hobbies, or experiences mentioned in the job description can make a difference, especially when clients or providers are reviewing multiple applications.
