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’re looking for a kind, patient, and supportive individual to join a care team working with a young person who has a real passion for football. A lifelong Newcastle United fan, he loves listening to others talk about the game and enjoys hearing stories about legends like Messi and Pelé. Football is a great way to connect with him—you’ll quickly notice his enthusiasm through his positive body language and engagement whenever the topic comes up.

During the day, he also enjoys watching YouTube and listening to others explain how to play games such as Pokémon, Fortnite, and Minecraft.

In this role, you will provide essential support with personal care, moving and handling, and managing his clinical needs. Above all, we’re looking for someone who can build a warm, trusting relationship and bring a positive, engaging presence to his daily life.

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
