Hi my name is Ruth and I have worked at Cera Cumbria for 4 years.

I started out as the Branch Trainer and progressed to become Branch Manager almost two years ago. I've worked in the care sector for over 30 years and feel that while care work is tough, it's also the most exciting, rewarding job there you could imagine.

There is fantastic career development and progression within the care sector with positions ranging from care worker, senior care worker, visiting officers, trainers, coordinators and branch manager roles. You have to undertake lots of thinking outside of the box to problem solve in this industry.

The staff at Cera Cumbria are brilliant individuals who go above and beyond for our service users and their colleagues, we all help each other and support is always on hand.
