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 male in his early 20s who lives at home in Derby with his family and siblings. He likes music, listening to his Toni box, watching Disney Plus on his iPad, and engaging in sensory activities. He also loves spending time with his siblings and being part of family activities.

He enjoys massages, gentle reassurance, and having people close by. He also likes to have lots of interaction with his care team, such as being read to, and spending time outdoors, especially going to the park and feeding the ducks.

In this role, you will deliver essential person-centred care, support his daily routines, and assist him in engaging in his favourite social activities. You will remain attentive and responsive to his care needs and manage his clinical interventions as required.

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.”
