Charting Your Own Course: The Realities Of Self-Employment

Charting Your Own Course: The Realities Of Self-Employment

Published By Mobility Workforce Marketplace , 10 months ago

Embarking on a career as a self-employed healthcare worker in Australia offers a world of possibilities, and at mobility, we're all about opening doors to those opportunities. Whether it's about finding frequent short shifts or committing to longer assignments, we've tailored solutions to meet a variety of demands and preferences. Here, we'll explore the pros and cons of this shift, backed by testimonials from our dedicated community.

 

Flexibility and Autonomy:

For many, the allure of self-employment lies in flexible schedules. "I can take care of my kids with this job and maintain balance between family and work, by working only a few hours. " Shares Satna. This flexibility extends to choosing diverse working environments, from large residential facilities and community care to individuals in their homes. In areas where nursing shifts might be less frequent, we've got you covered. There are often loads of opportunities for other types of care work, and as a nurse, your skills are a perfect fit. "I love the flexibility, I can choose time that suits me, and it has helped me to develop my career in the industry by giving me the opportunity to work with diverse people." shares Simran, on her various roles with mobility.

 

Earn More, Learn More:

Self-employment often translates into better earnings. As Gazal, another worker in our network, shares, "I love the support I get every time I call, and the pay rates are so good, and nothing is hidden. I get paid the exact amount I see on the listing. And getting paid every week is a bonus." However, this financial control comes with responsibilities, we're continuously creating helpful guides and resources to help you navigate these challenges, such as ABN Application Tips and Managing Your Tax Obligations. While the financial perks are appealing, so are the experiences. Working across different settings is not just rewarding but also broadens your skill set. "Working with mobility has been an enriching experience, providing me the opportunity to work in various places and gain diverse experiences in the field of nursing. The flexibility offered by mobility has been particularly valuable, allowing me to seamlessly balance my professional commitments with my pursuit of a bachelor's degree in nursing. This unique combination has not only enhanced my practical skills but has also contributed significantly to my academic growth, creating a dynamic and rewarding journey in both work and study." Shares Mandeep.

 

Travel and Work Adventure:

Fancy a change of scenery? We've partnered with top providers across NSW and QLD to offer unique travel-for-work opportunities. Imagine working for 2-6 weeks in a new location with your accommodation, travel, and meal allowances taken care of. "I like going to new places, meeting new clients, and learning new things. I like the flexibility and I have become more confident ever since I started working with mobility," shares Reshma, who's embraced these travel opportunities.
