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 seeking fun, warm, and compassionate Healthcare Assistants to support an 8-year-old boy within his family home.

He enjoys sensory play, light and music therapy, children’s TV programmes, and especially loves singing, playful interaction, and funny voices that make him laugh and smile.

As part of his dedicated 1:1 care team, you will support him across both day and night shifts, helping to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment tailored to his individual needs.

During the day, you will support him to access activities while closely monitoring his oxygen saturations, airway, and seizure activity, alongside any other required clinical interventions as outlined in his care plan.

Night shifts require a vigilant and attentive approach, supporting his clinical needs as required while maintaining a calm and restful environment. You will provide comfort and reassurance throughout the night and respond appropriately to any changes in his condition.

We are looking for caring, reliable, and attentive individuals who can recognise signs of deterioration, respond calmly and effectively, and deliver high-quality, person-centred care while building a positive and trusting relationship with both our client and his family.

Previous epilepsy experience is preferred but not essential, as full training and ongoing support will be provided.
