“I was very skeptical 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 happy and content 10-year-old girl who is very independent and full of energy. She enjoys imaginative play, especially role-playing with her dolls house and play kitchen. She also has a real interest in make-up and nail polish, often enjoying creative play with these activities.

She loves spending time outdoors, including trips to the park, as well as shopping and attending school during the day.

You will support her in the things she enjoys, encourage her learning and development, and provide consistent, person-centred care.

Her care needs can be complex at times, so it is essential to always remain vigilant while ensuring she is safe, supported, and engaged. This is a highly rewarding role where you can make a real difference in her daily life.

Please note: Due to the nature of our vacancies, our clients have the right to request either female or male staff.

Our client has 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.”
