Job description

Working in Extra Care

Whether you already have previous professional experience, you've cared for a loved one or you simply enjoy supporting others, your compassion, patience, and understanding are exactly what we need. It's your values and kindness that matter most and we will provide all the training you need. As a care assistant at our Extra Care Unit, you will be supporting residents, who all have varying needs to live as independently as possible, with personalised care and support plans in place.

Every client's needs are different. You may assist with a bit of housework or help with getting up in the morning. A tasty hot meal and a listening ear. A hand with medication or getting washed and dressed. But more than this, our carers become friends, providing human company, encouragement and maybe a laugh or two, often when life has become a bit tough. Caring isn't always easy, but a lot of people and their families will be grateful that you were there for them.

Why Choose Cera?

Care at Cera is a career, not just a job. We want our carers to see their profession as one with meaning, where they feel rewarded, can develop their skills and progress whilst truly making a difference. Our Cera Academy provides you with access to learning and development that shapes and builds core skills and behaviours, for now and for the future.

As a professional carer, your focus should be on what you do best - caring. That’s why our Cera Technology app streamlines admin tasks, giving you more time with those you support.

Some of our other great benefits include :

• Cera Mobility Scheme – giving you access to exclusive discounts on car insurance, driving lessons, maintenance and more.
• Access to our WeCare platform with hundreds of discounts and cashback offers on online and highstreet retailers.
• Blue Light Card eligibility.
• Uncapped £500 refer a friend scheme.
• Employee assistance program, Mental Health Hotline, Healthcare Cashplan, Eyecare Plan and Wellbeing centre (via WeCare).
