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 currently supporting a woman in her 40s living with Motor Neurone Disease and are seeking compassionate and reliable carers to join her dedicated care team. This is a 1:1 care package offering waking night shifts.

She enjoys pampering sessions, getting her nails done by her care team, shopping both online and out in the community, and spending quality time with her family. She’s a proud Manchester City supporter and enjoys watching reality TV and romantic comedies.

Our client is non-verbal and uses an alarm system to alert her care team when she requires support. She is reliant on her care team for all aspects of personal care and routine clinical tasks during the night. Due to her immobility, attentive and consistent care is vital to ensure her comfort, safety, and well-being throughout the shift.

Carers must be comfortable working in a pet-friendly environment, as our client has a cat.

Please note: Due to the nature of our vacancies, our clients have the right to request either female or male staff. Our client has 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
• Must be pet friendly – cat in the property

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.
