Direct Homecare - Northern Ireland
Package-specific preparation Understand the person, the support plan and your responsibilities before working independently.
Paid Induction and Shadowing Build confidence through structured learning and supported introductions.
Specialist Development Develop experience in complex care, learning disability, autism, PBS and community support.
Support When It Matters Access supervision, reflective practice, clinical advice and clear escalation routes.
A Values-led Culture Work in a service that expects professionalism while recognising the importance of staff wellbeing and teamwork.
Direct Homecare’s Code of Conduct sets out the professional behaviours and everyday standards expected of every colleague. It covers safeguarding, consent and decision‑making, person‑centred planning, records and information governance, infection prevention & control, safe medicines support, PBS and CPI Safety Interventions, equality and human rights, candour and complaints.
In practice: you’ll receive clear policies, paid induction and shadowing, regular supervision and reflective debriefs, with a supportive escalation and on‑call structure so you’re never alone on difficult shifts. (See Training & Support below.)
We welcome applicants who are reliable, calm, respectful and able to follow detailed support plans while seeing the person beyond the task. Relevant experience is valuable, but values, reflective practice and willingness to learn are equally important.
Supported Living / Domiciliary Care Workers (Learning Disability & Autism) — person‑centred daily living support, PBS‑informed practice, community inclusion.
Senior Support Workers / Team Leaders — coordinate shifts, mentor staff, oversee records and incident learning.
RNLD/RMN/RGN (nurse‑led packages) — complex community nursing oversight, medicines governance and safe delegation to support workers (NMC accountability applies).
All social care staff must hold or obtain NISCC registration (we can support you through the process). Nurses must hold current NMC registration.
Tell us about you. Share your CV and a short statement about why rights‑based, person‑centred support matters to you.
Interview & values fit. Meet a manager and a colleague; we’ll focus on scenarios, values and reflective practice.
Onboarding & registration. We’ll support you with checks, NISCC registration (where applicable) and your tailored induction plan.
