What Care Assistant job ads ask for
These terms come up again and again in postings for this role. Recruiters query the database for them literally, so the exact wording matters more than the phrasing around it.
- Care Certificate
- Level 3 Health and Social Care
- Enhanced DBS
- CQC
- moving and handling
- person-centred care
- medication administration
- safeguarding
- dementia care
- end of life care
What goes wrong in this role specifically
- The Care Certificate and your Health and Social Care diploma level must both appear as text. Providers filter on both.
- Name the setting type — residential, nursing, domiciliary, supported living. They are searched separately.
- Moving and handling and medication administration training belong on their own lines with renewal dates.

Questions
Will an ATS read my Care Assistant CV?
It depends entirely on how the file is built, not on how good you are. Tables, two-column layouts, text boxes and contact details inside headers or icons are the usual reasons information goes missing. Upload yours above and you will see exactly what survives.
Which certifications belong on a Care Assistant CV?
Care Certificate, Level 3 Health and Social Care, Enhanced DBS and similar credentials belong in the body text, on their own lines, written out in full the first time. Recruiters search the database for the exact abbreviation.
Should I send a PDF or a Word file?
DOCX is read more reliably across systems. If the posting asks for PDF, export it from a single-column document rather than from a design tool.
