Cera has introduced a new £500 ‘Golden Hello Bonus’, applicable to new professional carers who join us or have joined us since late August.

Cera is creating 5,000 new roles, with the majority of these roles in frontline healthcare services such as Professional Carers and Nurses, but Cera also seeks to employ professionals across operations, technology, finance and data to accelerate and facilitate its growth.

Applicants for Professional Carer roles do not need to hold specific skills or qualifications to apply. The company’s technology enables the firm to recruit, train, certify and deploy new Professional Carers in a matter of days.

Commenting on this jobs drive, and Cera’s rapid growth, Co-founder & CEO Dr Ben Maruthappu said: “At the start of the pandemic, we set out to solve two of the most pressing issues facing the UK. Firstly, we wanted to reduce pressures placed on the NHS due to the pandemic by bringing more talent into the Care sector and, secondly, we wanted to offer jobs to thousands of people to help counter the unemployment crisis, allowing them to retrain and gain fulfilling careers in healthcare.”

“We’re enormously proud of the role we’ve been able to play thus far. However, this is just the beginning - in the short-term we plan to grow Cera further, and bring an additional 5,000 new professionals into the health and social care sector during a period of unprecedented pressure.”
