Social Care Workers

NISCC is registering the social care workforce in phases according to job role and location. The social care workforce includes people working in a range of job roles, providing, managing or supplying personal care and support to individuals, families and communities.

Social Care Workers who should now be registering are:

• Team leaders in residential child care
• Residential child care staff
• Head of residential homes and day centres
• Domiciliary care managers
• Adult residential care staff

The final phase of registration will run from 2008 to 2010 and will include social care staff in day care, social work assistants and domiciliary care workers. NISCC is working with employers to inform and support workers applying for registration. If you are unsure when you should apply for registration, speak to your manager or contact the NISCC Registration Team for advice (Tel: 028 9041 7633).
