* Nursery Nurse
* Location: Rochdale, OL16
* Pay Rate: £13.50 to £16.00 per hour
* Shifts: Part Time, Nights | 2 shifts per week | 10pm – 7am
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’re supporting a 15-year-old boy with complex health needs. He is a calm and gentle young person who enjoys listening to music, watching TV, and spending time with his family.
He is unable to communicate verbally and is also immobile, requiring his care team to fully assist with personal care and mobility while anticipating his needs to help prevent any distress or frustration.
At night, he will already be settled in bed when his care team arrives. Your role will involve carrying out regular checks throughout the night, ensuring his comfort, managing clinical interventions, and providing personal care as needed to support a safe and restful night.
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
To be successful in this role, you’ll need to have experience as a Nursery Nurse, with a strong passion for supporting children and young people.
We’re Looking For Individuals Who Are
* Compassionate, patient, and reliable
* Confident in working with children and young people in a hands-on care environment
* Committed to learning new clinical skills and advancing their career in complex care
While clinical experience is not essential, you must be willing to undertake comprehensive training in areas such as:
* Tracheostomy care
* Ventilation management
* Gastrostomy care (PEG feeding)
* Personal care
* Moving and handling
This is an ideal opportunity to take your childcare experience to the next level and make a lasting difference in the lives of children with complex needs.
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.
