    Why Choose Apollo? At Apollo Home Healthcare, we provide high-quality, person-centred care to people in the comfort of their own homes. We build small, dedicated teams around each individual - because every person we support has unique needs!

We are currently recruiting Healthcare Assistants to support a teenage boy living at home with his family in Loughborough. This role includes both day and night shifts, providing dedicated 1:1 care at home and in school.

Meet Our Client

You will be supporting a friendly, engaging teenage boy who lives at home with his loving family and their labrador dog. He has a great sense of humour and enjoys listening to audiobooks, attending Youth Club, and relaxing with his favourite TV shows and DVDs.

This is a rewarding opportunity to build a positive relationship and make a real difference in his day-to-day life.

During day shifts, you will accompany him to school, ensuring his clinical needs are met while encouraging and supporting him to fully participate in classroom activities, something he genuinely enjoys. You’ll play an important role in helping him feel confident, included, and supported throughout his day.

During non-term time, support will be provided within his home environment, where you will assist with all daily living tasks while encouraging and supporting his hobbies, interests, and community activities. Working hours may vary during these periods to reflect his individual support needs.

What You’ll Need

• Minimum 3 months’ care experience
• Confident with medication administration
• Personal care & moving and handling experience
• Clear communication skills
• Pet friendly (dog in the property)
• Full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle

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 female care staff to join their team.

What We Offer

• Competitive hourly pay with enhancements for nights and weekends
• Regular confirmed rotas
• Flexible full-time and part-time hours
• Reward & recognition programme
• Supportive management and 24/7 on-call support
• Funded training and opportunities to develop clinical skills (though attendance is unpaid)
