What It's Like to Work at Cera
Hi! My name is Alison and I have worked at Cera Old Stratford for 4 years.
I have worked within the care sector for over ten years and have experience in most roles within the team. I really enjoy the challenge of supporting my clients and care workers. We have had many good memories over the past four years, the most prominent for me was the award of block contracts from Milton Keynes and Northampton Councils.
I have amazing professional carers working for the branch who go above and beyond for their clients: arranging days out, shopping trips and theatre visits. The care industry is not like other forms of employment: it takes dedication, compassion, kindness and the ability to make your client feel special and loved.
I feel proud and accomplished knowing I am part of the amazing team at Cera Old Stratford .
