About Us
At Apollo Home Healthcare, we provide high-quality, person-centred care to people in the comfort of their own homes. Every individual we support has unique needs – we tailor every care package to them, building a compassionate and skilled team around their requirements.
We live and work by the 6 Cs: Care, Compassion, Competence, Communication, Courage, and Commitment – and we’re looking for people who share those values.
Meet Our Client
We are supporting a 17-year-old boy with clinical and complex care needs. He is a calm and happy young boy who lives in a modern family home with his mom and sister. He enjoys watching cartoons, listening to music, and engaging in sensory play with his soft blankets and fluffy toys.
He is non-verbal and experiences both physical and developmental impairments, requiring full assistance with personal care, mobility, and clinical interventions. His care team must also provide ongoing support and close monitoring throughout the night.
At night, he will be settled in bed before his care team arrives. During the night regular monitoring is essential to ensure his safety and comfort. He may wake briefly and want to play before settling back to sleep.
If you’re dedicated to making a meaningful difference and enjoy working in a nurturing home setting, we’d love to hear from you.
Please note: Due to the nature of our vacancies, our clients have the right to request either female or male staff. Our client has specifically requested female care staff to join their team.
“This isn't just a job – it’s your opportunity to make a real difference in someone’s life.”
What You’ll Need
* 3 months’ care experience
* Confident with medication, personal care, moving and handling
* Clear communication skills
What We Offer
* Competitive hourly pay with enhancements for nights and weekends
* Regular confirmed rotas and flexible scheduling
* Reward & recognition programme
* Supportive management and 24/7 on-call support
* Opportunity to grow within a values-led, national care provider
Our funded training, including clinical skills, comes at no cost to you, though attendance is unpaid.
