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 seeking compassionate and dedicated individuals to support a loving 3-year-old boy who enjoys engaging with his family and care team. He particularly enjoys swimming, sensory lights, soft play, and spending time outdoors.
As part of his day care team, you will play a key role in supporting his daily needs, delivering clinical care, and helping him thrive both at home and while attending nursery.
You will also provide essential overnight support. Evenings typically begin around 6pm with bath time and clinical care, followed by calm play to help him settle. He usually goes to sleep around 10pm, with a consistent bedtime routine that includes a star projector and his soft blanket, helping him feel safe, calm, and comfortable as he drifts off to sleep.
We are looking for flexible staff who are able to support both day and night shifts as required.
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.
