“I was very sceptical about leaving my old job but I’m so I glad I took the leap and applied for my position at Apollo. Best thing I ever did, I get to spend more time with my children and watch them grow. Everyone is so friendly and easy to approach if you have a problem.”

About This Role

A sociable teenage boy who enjoys interaction with his family and care team. He enjoys listening to music and watching TV, especially his favourite show Mr Tumble. He also likes sensory based activities and having stories read to him by his care team.
