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 compassionate and dependable Healthcare Assistants to join a dedicated 2:1 care team supporting a gentleman in his 30s in his home in Leigh.

He is a big music fan with an impressive LP collection and enjoys listening to a wide range of genres, most notably Elvis Presley. He also enjoys following Manchester United, watching his favourite TV series, getting out into the community, going for meals, and spending time socialising with his care team. A good sense of humour and the ability to build a genuine connection are especially important to him.

In this role, you will provide person-centred care tailored to his individual needs and routines. Alongside supporting his clinical interventions, you’ll assist with daily living tasks, meal preparation, household activities, and helping him enjoy an active social life.

Night shifts involve supporting his bedtime routine, providing reassurance and companionship, monitoring his clinical needs, and ensuring he remains safe, comfortable, and settled throughout the night.

We’re looking for patient and empathetic individuals who are confident delivering complex clinical care and passionate about making a positive difference through compassionate, respectful support.

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.
