South Shields, United Kingdom Cera Care Full time

We are recruiting Care Assistants for our Extra Care unit in Bramble Court, South Shields.

We're recruiting for part-time and full-time permanent positions, days and nights. It's secure work that comes with good pay, great training and no previous experience is required.

**Working hours**:
Block shift patterns are as follows: 7am - 3pm, 3pm - 7pm or 7am - 7pm. Night block shifts are also available.

Extra Care units offer residents their own self contained living space within a larger building, with access to care staff who are based within the unit and who provide care to each resident. 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 meds 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 families will be grateful that you did.

We'll provide training and fund your recognised Level 2 or 3 qualification^ and everything you need to support those out in the community. Due to our growth, we have several career progression path's available - from nursing to operational management positions.
