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 and compassionate Healthcare Assistants to support a bright and joyful young girl on a 2:1 basis. She thrives on interaction and has a warm, playful personality, and is looking for a dedicated care team to plan and engage in a wide range of fun and meaningful activities with her.

She requires 24/7 ventilation support, so experience or a willingness to learn advanced clinical care is essential.

She loves all things musical, especially when her team sings to her, as well as being pampered, going to school, spending time with friends, and getting out into the community with her mum and care team.

During day shifts, you will support her at school by helping her engage in learning and join activities with her classmates. You will also assist at home with her morning routine and settling after school. Your role will include providing personal care, administering medication, attending to her clinical needs, including ventilation management and building a close and trusting relationship with her.

During night shifts, you will closely monitor her, remaining attentive to her care needs, including ventilation support, and ensuring she is safe, comfortable, and fully supported throughout the night.

We are looking for someone patient, playful, and positive, with a genuine passion for helping children live full and enjoyable lives.

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.”

• Minimum 3 months’ care experience
• Confident supporting with medication administration, personal care, and moving & handling
• Clear and effective communication skills
• Pet friendly – there are 3 cats in the property
• Experience or exposure to complex and clinical care
