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 supporting a delightful 2-year-old girl who lives at home in Ashton-under-Lyne. She is a joyful, playful child who enjoys sensory lights, listening to familiar songs, exploring with her hands, and feeling comforted through close interaction and hand-holding.

As a valued member of her dedicated care team, you will provide loving, one-to-one daytime care in her home. Your role will focus on nurturing, reassurance, and building a trusting bond, while supporting her with personal care, moving and handling, medication administration, and managing her complex clinical needs.

You will spend time engaging with her, encouraging her participation in favourite activities, and gently fostering her development throughout the day.

You will play a vital role in creating a safe, calm, and joyful environment where she feels secure, comforted, and cherished, ensuring every interaction supports her wellbeing and happiness.

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

Our client’s family have 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.”

What You’ll Need

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