Job description

Cera is recruiting Care Assistants for our Extra Care service in Elgin - Loxa Court.

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.

We're recruiting for Bank/Relief work to cover holidays and sickness. It's secure work that comes with good pay, great training, and no previous experience is required.

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

Every client's needs are different. You may assist with housework, help with getting up in the morning, prepare a hot meal, provide companionship, assist with medication, or help with washing and dressing. More than tasks, our carers become friends, offering human company, encouragement, and maybe a laugh or two, especially when life is tough. Caring can be challenging, but many families are grateful for your support.

Our benefits include:

• Pay is paid in block shifts with no travel required during your shift.
• Holiday pay and pension scheme
• Free 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, food, and activities.
• Exclusive discounts on driving lessons, fuel, insurance, car maintenance, and cycle hire
• Enhanced maternity (12 weeks full pay), paternity, and parental leave policies
• Industry-leading career development, including SVQ's, with many internal promotion opportunities
• Wellbeing support, including employee assistance, mental health first aiders, healthcare cash plan, and free eye tests
• Extra earnings through our Care Friends referral scheme, earning £500 per referral

Cera makes caring easier with Cera Tech

Our technology streamlines administrative tasks, improves outcomes, and allows you to focus on caring for clients. Features like predictive alerts help reduce hospitalizations and falls, enabling better care.

Key requirements for this role:

• A passion for helping others; previous caring experience is desirable but not essential.
• Flexibility to work various shifts, including alternate weekends.

We are an equal opportunity employer, celebrating diversity and committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.

In Scotland, all care staff must register with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) and maintain their registration, including annual renewal. Cera will fund your SVQ2 training, but there is a registration fee payable by the employee. Due to the provision of intimate care, this vacancy is restricted to women only, as clients may request a carer of a specific sex.
