Healthcare firm set to create 150 jobs
Cera, the UK healthcare-at-home provider, is set to create 150 jobs in Staffordshire.
The roles will be made available across it’s branches in Burton-on-Trent, Stoke-on-Trent and Stafford.
The company, launched less than five years ago, says it has reached its initial goal of filling 10,000 jobs during the pandemic and by the end of 2021, several months ahead of schedule.
The majority of the new roles will be in frontline healthcare services such as professional carers and nurses, but Cera says it is also looking to employ professionals across operations, technology, finance and data to accelerate and facilitate its growth.
Co-founder and 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 150 new professionals into the health and social care sector in Staffordshire during a period of unprecedented pressure.”
