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 putting together a small team of Healthcare Assistants to support our client, an 11-year-old boy who lives at home with his parents in Prees, Shropshire.

**Our client and his family speak Spanish as their first language, so we’re looking for people who feel confident conversing in Spanish. This helps keep day-to-day care conversations clear and makes it easier to build a connection with both our client and his family.

You’ll also need to translate information from Spanish into English, as all care notes must be written in English. So while being comfortable speaking Spanish is essential, you’ll also need a good understanding of English to translate and record information accurately.**

During shifts, you’ll provide personal care, support him at mealtimes, and manage his clinical interventions as needed. You’ll also help with his mobility and get involved in his hobbies and interests to keep him engaged and enjoying his day. We’re currently looking for part-time team members who can offer reliable, compassionate support.

Please note: Due to the nature of our vacancies, our clients have the right to request either female or male staff.

What You’ll Need

• 3 months’ care experience
• Confident with medication, personal care, moving and handling
• Clear communication skills
• Confident Spanish-speaking 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.
