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.

We’re hiring across multiple locations, so even if this position isn’t your perfect match, we'd encourage you to apply today to hear about other opportunities in your area.

Meet Our Client

We’re supporting a lovely 3-year-old girl, who will soon be returning home from Alder Hey Children’s Hospital to live with her family in Poulton-le-Fylde.

She lives in a pet-friendly home with two friendly dogs, so staff must be comfortable around animals. Due to family preference, we are seeking carers who are caring, reliable, and confident in delivering high-quality, person-centred care.

Our client requires overnight care to monitor her breathing, manage her feeding, and ensure she remains safe and comfortable while her mum rests. We're seeking staff who are comfortable supporting children and are happy to play and interact.

This is a permanent position offering paid training and a fully funded DBS. Candidates must be able to travel to both Alder Hey Children's Hospital and our Rochdale office, to attend essential clinical training as part of the induction.

Please note: Due to the nature of our vacancies, our clients have the right to request either female or male staff. Our client’s parents have requested females only to join their care 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
• Paid training & DBS
