Job Description:

Cera is recruiting Care Assistants for our Extra Care service in South Shields for night shifts.

Are you kind? A people person? Love making a difference in people's lives? Then we can offer you the perfect role as a Carer, where you will genuinely make a difference, every day! No experience required.

It's secure work with good pay, great training, and no previous experience needed. Working hours are two nights per week, from 10 pm to 7 am. Week 1: Sat/Sun nights; Week 2: Mon/Tues nights.

Extra Care units offer residents their own self-contained living spaces within a larger building, with access to care staff based within the unit who provide care to each resident. As a care assistant, you will support residents with varying needs to live as independently as possible, following personalized care and support plans.

Every client's needs are different. You may assist with housework, help with getting up in the morning, prepare a hot meal, offer companionship, assist with medication, or help with washing and dressing. Our carers become friends, providing human company, encouragement, and sometimes a laugh, especially when life is tough. Caring can be challenging, but your support will be greatly appreciated by clients and their families.

Our benefits include:

• Pay is paid in block shifts with no travel required during your shift.
• Holiday pay and pension scheme
• Free DBS/PVG, company mobile phone, and uniform provided
• Access to our benefits & discounts platform WeCare, and eligibility for the Blue Light Card Scheme, offering discounts on shopping, dining, and activities.
• Exclusive discounts on driving lessons, fuel, insurance, maintenance, cycle hire, and more
• Enhanced maternity (12 weeks full pay), paternity, and parental leave policies
• Career development opportunities, including the Care Certificate and NVQs, with internal progression for 50% of salaried roles
• Wellbeing support, including employee assistance programs, mental health first aiders, healthcare cash plan, and free eye tests with glasses contribution
• Extra earnings through our referral scheme Care Friends - £500 per referral
