  About us

At Apollo Home Healthcare, we provide high-quality, person-centred care to individuals in the comfort of their own homes. Every care package is tailored, with a compassionate and skilled team built around each person’s needs.

We live by the 6 Cs: Care, Compassion, Competence, Communication, Courage, and Commitment.

The Role

We are looking for compassionate and reliable Healthcare Assistants to support a gentleman in his late 60s within his own home. Following a high-level spinal injury, he requires full support with his care and is supported on a 2:1 basis overnight.

He is a sociable and engaging individual who enjoys good conversation, listening to music—particularly Snow Patrol—and spending quality time with his family and friends. He also enjoys dining out and relaxed evenings at home.

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 you will be working within a warm and supportive home environment.

During night shifts, you will support his clinical and personal care needs, ensuring he remains comfortable, safe, and well-supported throughout the night.

This is a rewarding opportunity to build a meaningful connection while delivering high-quality, person-centred care.

Key Responsibilities

• Personal care delivered with dignity and respect
• Support with moving and handling (2:1 care)
• Medication administration
• Bowel and catheter care
• Respiratory support including nebuliser, cough assist, and NIV
• Overnight monitoring to ensure comfort, safety, and wellbeing

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 3 months’ hands-on care experience
• Confident with personal care and moving & handling
• Caring, patient, and reliable approach
• Ability to build positive, respectful relationships
• Female carers (as requested by the client)
• Drivers with a full Manual UK licence (non-drivers may be considered for night shifts)

What We Offer

• Competitive pay with enhancements where applicable
• Regular, consistent night shifts (full-time or part-time)
• Reward & recognition programme
• 24/7 support from a dedicated team
• Funded training and opportunities to develop clinical skills

Our funded training (including clinical skills) is provided free of charge; however, attendance is unpaid.

Please note: Due to the nature of our vacancies, clients may request male or female staff depending on their care needs.

For this package, the client has specifically requested female care staff.
