Workers in housing support services applying to be registered with the SSSC
The SSSC will begin registering:
  • managers of housing support services from December 2010.

Other groups of workers in housing support services include:
  • supervisors of housing support services
  • housing support workers.


More detailed timescales for registering all groups of workers in housing support services will be announced in due course.


To register a worker must satisfy the criteria for registration. This includes holding the appropriate qualifications for the job they do and being able to evidence good character.


Applicants for registration who do not hold required qualifications may, if they meet all the other eligibility criteria for registration eg evidence of 'good character', be granted registration subject to the condition that they achieve the required qualifications within a specified period - normally their first three year period of registration.
