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 kind and caring young lady with a genuine love for her cherished pets. She enjoys relaxing with her favourite TV shows and has a real passion for baking, cooking, and gardening. She is surrounded by much-loved animals, including dogs and cats, and has a particularly strong bond with horses, which she enjoys visiting regularly.

She uses a powered wheelchair independently and enjoys being out and about, spending time with friends and family, and getting fresh air with her dogs when the weather allows. She has a friendly personality and enjoys a good chat, laughter, and companionship.

In this rewarding role, you will provide person-centred care tailored to her unique needs, manage clinical interventions with care and attention, and support her overall well-being. You will also offer companionship and encouragement, helping her stay involved in the activities she loves and creating a positive and nurturing environment where she can thrive.

Please Note:

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

Our client has specifically requested for female staff to work on her 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
• Comfortable with pets – dogs and cats in the property.

What We Offer

• Competitive hourly pay with enhancements for weekends and bank holidays
• 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.
