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

A playful 17-year-old who enjoys music, games, and connecting with others in his own unique way. He is non-verbal and has both visual and hearing impairments, so understanding his needs takes time, patience, and a consistent, caring approach.

He loves hide and seek, pop music, and finds it hilarious when staff copy his sounds, it's one of his favourite ways to interact. He also enjoys listening to Mr Tumble and Peppa Pig.

Due to the complexity of his needs, we are looking for dedicated, long-term staff who can provide stability and build strong, trusting relationships. Full training will be provided to support his behaviours and ensure the best possible care.

He attends school Monday to Friday, and support is needed after school, overnight, and during the day at weekends to offer his family valuable respite. If you're patient, committed, and want to make a meaningful impact, 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.

• 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.
