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 happy and sociable young boy who lives at home with his family and their pet dog in Ormskirk. He enjoys going for walks, baking, and engaging in arts and crafts.

He is reliant on his care team for all aspects of his day-to-day care and uses a manual wheelchair for mobility. He is unable to communicate verbally and does so through gestures, facial expressions, and eye contact. Care staff must remain attentive to his non verbal cues to ensure effective communication and that his needs are met.

Your role will involve providing personal care and managing his clinical interventions throughout the day, as well as ensuring his comfort and safety. You will also support and participate in activities he enjoys, providing lots of encouragement.

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 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.”

We’re looking for individuals who are:

• Compassionate, patient, and reliable • Confident in working with children and young people in a hands-on care environment • Committed to learning new clinical skills and advancing their career in complex care

• Tracheostomy care • Ventilation management • Gastrostomy care (PEG feeding) • Personal care • Moving and handling

This is an ideal opportunity to take your childcare experience to the next level and make a lasting difference in the lives of children with complex needs.

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
