Keswick, United Kingdom Cera Care Full time

Discover a rewarding career at Cera as a Care Assistant in Keswick. This opportunity requires you to live locally, be a driver with a car and you must already be based in the UK with right to work status. These are mandatory requirements to apply.

Whether you've already worked in social care, been caring for a vulnerable loved one, or you dedicate your time to helping others; your life experiences will have given you the essential qualities needed to provide care to others – compassion, understanding, and patience. On a typical day, you'll be visiting clients in the comfort of their own homes. Your responsibilities may include assisting with personal care including continence support, washing and dressing, managing medications, cooking or preparing hot meals, and helping with domestic tasks. However, your true impact lies in the companionship, reassurance, and joy you bring to their lives.
