Direct Care Workers′ Center Registry
In pursuit of an independent lifestyle, the Direct Care Workers′ Center Registry matches personal care workers to prospective employers. The registry maintains one database of individuals seeking employment as a direct care worker and a second database of people with disabilities and seniors seeking direct care workers. At the present time, both databases register individuals residing in Washington, Fayette, and Greene Counties of Southwestern Pennsylvania.
By registering, workers and employers are assisted to make swift employment connections matched to their needs. In addition, the Direct Care Workers′ Center can assist workers with accessing valuable training, developing multiple part-time assignments into full-time employment, qualifying for group purchased health benefits as they become available, and accessing supportive services to assist workers with resolving such issues as; child/elderly care, transportation, budgeting, and job preparation.
Search the Database

To provide a very basic level of confidentiality, registry staff help you to connect with specific worker candidates. In the future, the registry will enable seekers to conduct more independent searches for greater detailed information depending upon the permission granted by the individual listed in the database.
