This Role is About the Right Person – Not Just Experience

At Apollo Home Healthcare, we build small, consistent care teams around each person we support.

We recruit people who genuinely connect with the individual they’ll be supporting – because the right personality, compassion, and attitude make the biggest difference.

If you enjoy building meaningful relationships and supporting someone to live life on their terms, this could be the perfect role for you.

About the Gentleman You’ll Support

You’ll be supporting a gentleman in his late 60s who lives at home with his wife.

He’s sociable, enjoys good conversation, and values spending time with friends and family. Music is a big part of his life, and he enjoys listening to a wide range of artists – particularly Snow Patrol. He also enjoys going out for meals and spending relaxed evenings with the people around him.

He has had a varied and interesting career and enjoys sharing stories from his past with those around him.

Following a high-level spinal injury, he now requires full support with his care. Despite the challenges he faces, he remains positive and values carers who treat him with dignity, respect, and kindness.

His family are an important part of his life, and his wife, children and granddaughter regularly visit.

We are looking for carers who will become a trusted and valued part of his care team.

We’re looking for people who are:

• Warm, friendly and patient
• Comfortable building genuine connections
