New Renewal Requirements for the Direct Care Careers Platform
Direct Care Careers (DCC) is a free online platform to connect people seeking work as personal care attendants with employers delivering home and community-based services.
To ensure DCC candidates have access to current and active opportunities, all job posts on the DCC platform now require renewal every 90 days. We encourage employers to review their active job posts regularly to ensure the quality, accuracy, and relevance of postings for DCC candidates.
New Renewal Process Features
- Automatic Reminders: Employers will receive reminders to renew their postings at 60, 75, and 90 days from the original posting date.
- Action Required to Renew: Employers must renew job posts before the 90-day period ends to remain visible to candidates.
- Unpublished After 90 Days: If a job post is not renewed within 90 days, the platform will unpublish it. It will no longer be visible to candidates.
- Where to Find Unpublished Job Posts: You can find unpublished job posts under My Job Posts, Closed Jobs. You can revise and renew them at any time.
Thank you for helping us maintain a high-quality experience for DCC users.
If you need help with the renewal process, please contact the DCC Help Desk or use the live chat by clicking “Chat with us” on the DCC website.
For general inquiries or questions about becoming a DCC Employer, contact the HHSC Office of Disability Services Coordination.
