Have you ever thought you’d make a great Professional Carer, but were put off because you don’t have qualifications or care experience? Well, think again. Because when it comes to experience, you probably have the best kind already, and that’s life experience. Life’s given you some special qualities: patience, good humour, compassion. You care about people around you and you’re there for them when the going gets tough. Don’t worry, we’re not looking for saints, just kind people who are available for regular weekend and evening work. If you can tick those boxes, then our care jobs might tick yours.

We're recruiting in North Berwick, Dunbar, Gullane, Aberlady, Haddington, Tranent, Wallyford, Musselburgh, and surrounding areas. It’s secure work. We’ll train you fully. And there’s a bright future ahead.

What’s it all about? As we get older, life can become more challenging. Our Carers provide a helping hand by visiting people in their own homes, once or multiple times a day. You might help them get up, washed, and dressed; ensure they have groceries and a hot meal; or keep their home tidy and safe. But the real reward is the human connection, reassurance, and maybe some fun. Some people you visit might be having a tough time, and you’ll be there for them. They’re the ones who need you the most.

Thinking you’re cut out for care? We’re stronger together. CERA isn’t just about serving the community; it’s about being one. You’ll work with like-minded people, supporting each other through the good and challenging times. Upon joining, you’ll train for the industry-recognised Care Certificate and shadow experienced colleagues. Our branch teams and care specialists are always available for support, and technology helps you focus on care instead of paperwork. We reward your hard work with decent pay and staff benefits, plus genuine promotion prospects to team leader, care specialist, or management.

• This job can be part-time or full-time.
• Overtime opportunities are often available but voluntary.
• No care experience necessary, but you must be at least 18 years old.
• You’ll receive a mobile phone with the CERA app for safe and efficient work.

Some of our other benefits include:

• Cera Mobility Scheme – discounts on car insurance, driving lessons, maintenance, and more.
• Access to WeCare platform with discounts and cashback offers.
• Blue Light Card eligibility.
• Uncapped £500 refer-a-friend scheme.
• Employee assistance programs, including mental health support, Healthcare Cashplan, Eyecare, and Wellbeing centre.
• Support services for those affected by Menopause and Peri-Menopause, as we are a Menopause Friendly Employer.
