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 provide overnight care for a friendly and engaging 10-year-old boy who lives at home in Nottingham with his family and their pet animals. He builds positive relationships with familiar carers and benefits from calm, reassuring support, particularly during the night.
Although night care is primarily focused on rest and monitoring, gentle encouragement and emotional reassurance are important, especially around bedtime routines. He enjoys quiet, familiar activities before settling, and responds well to carers who are patient, attentive, and nurturing.
During night shifts, care is provided on a 1:1 basis, supporting him with personal care, moving and handling, medication administration, and meeting his clinical needs.
He typically settles to sleep at around 8:00pm. Once asleep, carers are required to remain awake and vigilant throughout the night, closely monitoring him to ensure his safety, comfort, and overall wellbeing.
Please note: Due to the nature of our vacancies, our clients have the right to request either female or male staff.
“This isn't just a job – it’s your opportunity to make a real difference in someone’s life.”
What You’ll Need
5. 3 months’ care experience
6. Confidence with medication, personal care, moving and handling
7. Clear communication skills
8. Pet friendly
What We Offer
9. Competitive hourly pay with enhancements for nights and weekends
10. Regular confirmed rotas and flexible scheduling
