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

A happy and sociable young boy living at home with his family and their pet dog in Ormskirk. He enjoys going for walks, baking, and arts and crafts.

He is fully dependent on his care team for all aspects of daily living and uses a manual wheelchair for mobility. As he is non-verbal, he communicates through gestures, facial expressions, and eye contact, so staff must be attentive and responsive to his individual cues to ensure his needs are understood and met.

Your role will involve providing personal care and supporting his clinical needs throughout the day, while ensuring his comfort, safety, and dignity. You will also encourage and take part in his favourite activities, helping him to stay engaged and enjoy each day.

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 females only to join their care team.

“This isn't just a job – it’s your opportunity to make a real difference in someone’s life.”

What You’ll Need

To be successful in this role, you’ll need to have experience as a Nursery Nurse, with a strong passion for supporting children and young people.

We’re looking for individuals who are:

• Compassionate, patient, and reliable
• Confident in working with children and young people in a hands-on care environment
• Committed to learning new clinical skills and advancing their career in complex care

While clinical experience is not essential, you must be willing to undertake comprehensive training in areas such as:

• Tracheostomy care
• Ventilation management
• Gastrostomy care (PEG feeding)
• Personal care
• Moving and handling

This is an ideal opportunity to take your childcare experience to the next level and make a lasting difference in the lives of children with complex needs.

What We Offer

• Competitive hourly pay with enhancements for nights and weekends
• Regular confirmed rotas and flexible scheduling
• Reward & recognition programme
• Supportive management and 24/7 on-call support
• Opportunity to grow within a values-led, national care provider

Our funded training, including clinical skills, comes at no cost to you, though attendance is unpaid.
