Before you can access work on the Sidekicker platform, you will need to complete an assessment and finish setting up your Sidekicker account, including your profile and account settings.
How do I complete my Sidekicker profile?
Your profile is made up of your profile picture, bio, experience and certifications. It acts as your ‘online resume’ on Sidekicker - showcasing your personality, experience, and skills.
Businesses will review your profile alongside any applications you submit on the Sidekicker platform, so it is important to make yours stand out!
To complete your profile, click here to log in and update the following sections:
Step 1: Biography
What to include:
What role(s) are you looking for: Make sure the start of your bio clearly states what role(s) you’d like to take on
What experience you have: Businesses you apply for want to see you’ve worked in that field. You can list how many months of experience you have, what roles you’ve done and any further qualifications you have that show you'll be a great applicant.
About you: Clients love to know a little more about you! Why are you using Sidekicker, what are your interests outside of work and anything else fun you might like to share.
Please note: For your own security, please avoid adding personal details such as your home address, age or direct contact details here.
Why should businesses choose you: This is the part to really sell yourself! What are some of your best soft skills? What makes you a valuable team member?

Step 2: Experience
You can add as many experience items to your profile as you like, however, we recommend keeping these relevant to the industries you want to work in through Sidekicker.
You will need to add at least 1 experience item to your profile, and we recommend adding at least 3 to showcase as many of your skills as possible.
⭐ Top tip ⭐
Be specific about what tasks you did/ key skills demonstrated in your previous roles. E.g. 'making and serving coffee and cocktails', ‘preparation of salad ingredients and cold meats’, or ‘load and stage product using a forklift'.

Step 3: Preferred work type

Step 4: Certificates
Your certificate section includes a list of required documents you will need in your specified industry. Once your profile is approved, you can also add optional certificates.
Required certificates will vary depending on where you are located and the industries you are approved to work in. However, to access any work on our platform, all Sidekicks are required to complete/upload the following documents:

Not sure why you can’t submit your profile?

Even if one item is missing, your profile will not be approved.
Common reasons you may be stuck:
Missing profile photo

What next?
Once everything is complete, you’ll see three blue ticks. You can then go to the “Submit” tab to submit your profile for approval. Our team will review it as soon as possible! Your certificates will be checked as soon as your profile is submitted and you’ve successfully completed an assessment.
