Cera Care, a company which specialises in providing healthcare to elderly and vulnerable people in their own homes, is creating 10,000 new jobs in the United Kingdom during 2023.

The digital-first firm, which was founded in 2015 and has its headquarters in London, is creating thousands of vacancies for care assistants and nurses but is hoping to recruit from a wider talent pool than the care sector.

Cera Care say they are keen to attract applications from people with a background in other sectors such as hospitality, leisure and retail.

The care provider also offers flexible hours and shifts so that applicants who already have another job can take on some extra work at Cera.

In March 2020, Cera announced that it was creating 10,000 jobs during the Coronavirus pandemic. The company managed to fill all of those roles within a matter of months and is hoping to do the same again in 2023.

Cera’s digital platform and advanced technology systems allow the care provider to train and certify new recruits within a very short time frame, facilitating a quick turnaround between recruitment and deployment in the field.

Announcing the second round of massive recruitment plans, Cera’s co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Dr Ben Maruthappu MBE, said:

“Britain is facing a dual crisis, an economic one and a second one that grips our health service. We need to discharge well-enough patients out of hospital and into their homes more rapidly, to free up much-needed beds in hospitals and reduce the mounting pressure on the NHS.”

“We are hoping this ambitious jobs programme goes some way to solving both crises: helping people return to work at a challenging time and allowing us to deliver millions more home healthcare visits each year. Our technology allows us to effectively recruit and train new carers in record time, to rapidly expand our care capacity,” added the CEO.
