Cera Care jobs in London SE20

Cera are recruiting part-time Care Assistants for our Extra Care service in Bramble Court, South Shields.

Are you kind? A people person? Do you 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 are recruiting for part-time permanent positions only. This is secure work with good pay, great training, and no previous experience needed.

Applicants must be fully flexible and able to work both 7am–3pm and 3pm–10pm shifts, including alternate weekends.

Extra Care units offer residents their own self-contained living space within a larger building, with access to care staff who are based on site. As a Care Assistant, you will support residents—each with varying needs—to live as independently as possible, following personalised care and support plans.

Every client’s needs are different. You may assist with light housework, help someone get ready for the day, prepare a hot meal, offer companionship, support with medication, or help with washing and dressing. More than anything, our carers become trusted companions—offering encouragement, reassurance and sometimes a much‑needed laugh when life feels tough. Caring isn’t always easy, but many people and their families will be grateful that you were there.

Our benefits include:

• Pay is provided in block shifts with no travel required during your shift
• Enhanced bank holiday rates
• Holiday pay and pension scheme
• Free PVG, company mobile phone and uniform
• Access to our WeCare benefits & discounts platform and eligibility for the Blue Light Card
• Exclusive discounts on driving lessons, fuel, car insurance, maintenance, cycle hire and more
• Enhanced maternity (12 weeks full pay), paternity and parental leave
• Industry-leading career development, including funded SVQs, with strong internal progression
• Wellbeing support including EAP, mental health first aiders, healthcare cash plan and free eye tests
• Extra earnings through our Care Friends referral scheme – £400 per referral
