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 looking for kind, compassionate, and dedicated individuals to join the care team of a bright and engaging young girl. She has a curious and playful personality, loves story time, exploring sensory lights, and getting creative with arts and crafts. She also enjoys trips to the beach in her buggy, walks in the park, and a variety of sensory play activities.

She particularly thrives in water-based activities, including hydrotherapy, and benefits greatly from attending her educational setting, where she enjoys social interaction and a structured, stimulating environment.

In this role, you will support her throughout the day, helping with daily routines, attending her educational setting and outings, and providing full support with all aspects of her care, including mobility, nutrition, and clinical interventions.

We are seeking someone caring, attentive, and confident in supporting children with complex needs. The right individual will help create a safe, nurturing environment where she feels happy, comfortable, and fully supported every day.

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 female care staff to join their 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
• Previous experience working with children in a healthcare setting is essential

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
• Opportunity to grow within a values-led, national care provider

Our funded training, including clinical skills, comes at no cost to you, though attendance is unpaid.
