I understand that I would accept a fixed-term contract with 6 months probation - standard terms. I was wondering whether, after probation, we could go for a mortgage to size up. They're sorting the payroll stuff, I'm not sure how I think it'll be a branch (no need for a registered company). My partner is a sole trader in a covid impacted industry and only just off the PUP so it'll be on my income alone.Are you on a fixed term contract or are you a full time employee who has already served any probationary period? If the latter then I can't see there being any issue in relation to your employment status. But if they run an Irish payroll I would have expected this to be done via an Irish registered company?
Are you saying that you are on a fixed term contract or not? Or that this is a job that you're just considering at the moment?I understand that I would accept a fixed-term contract with 6 months probation - standard terms.

I am considering taking a role with a foreign-based employer. A big factor in this is whether we will qualify for a mortgage in Ireland. We're not first-time buyers. We already own a home and need "size up" as our son has additional needs.Are you saying that you are on a fixed term contract or not? Or that this is a job that you're just considering at the moment?

Being on a fixed term contract could be an issue. If you are the only borrower you'll probably need to talk to a broker, mainstream lenders don't look favourably on contract workers, regardless of where their employer is. As someone correctly pointed out below, there also might be differentials in currency they might want to account for, but if you are not being offered a "permanent" or "wholetime" contract, this would have a very high bearing on your ability to get a mortgage, far more than your partners time on the PUP (which is due to expire soon anyway).I understand that I would accept a fixed-term contract with 6 months probation - standard terms.
