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 loving and energetic 12-year-old boy who lives with his family in Milton Keynes. He thrives when his care team brings positive energy, patience, and genuine connection to engage with his personality and keep him happy.

He enjoys water activities, sensory toys, music, and time outdoors, so sharing these interests is a great way to build a strong bond and make each day enjoyable.

This role involves 2:1 care, working alongside a registered nurse to provide the highest level of support. Your responsibilities will include supporting his clinical needs, assisting with feeding and medication, and helping with mobility and personal care.

You will also support him after school and into the evening, engaging in therapeutic play and guiding his bedtime routine to ensure he settles comfortably for a restful night.

This is a rewarding opportunity for carers who are compassionate, attentive, and enthusiastic, and who want to make a meaningful difference in a child’s daily life

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.”

What You’ll Need

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