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

Our client is a young man in his early 20s who lives at home in Derby with his family and siblings. He enjoys a variety of activities that bring him comfort and joy, including listening to music on his Tonie box, watching Disney films on his iPad, and taking part in sensory-based activities.

He values family life and enjoys time with his siblings and shared routines. He finds comfort in gentle, familiar support and calming approaches such as massage, and thrives on meaningful interaction, including being read to and enjoying outdoor time, especially trips to the local park.

The role involves providing 2:1 essential, person-centred overnight care within the family home. Support includes following his established night-time routines, delivering clinical interventions as required, and providing personal care and repositioning when necessary. He usually settles for the night at around 9:00pm.

Care staff are required to remain awake and attentive throughout the night, responding promptly and appropriately to his needs to ensure his comfort, safety, and overall wellbeing at all times.

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.”
