“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.” – Current HCA

About This Role

We are looking for a caring and dedicated Healthcare Assistant to provide one-to-one support to a fun-loving 13-year-old boy throughout the school day. You’ll meet him at school at 9:00am and play an important role in supporting his wellbeing, clinical needs and social development.

You’ll build a trusting and positive relationship with him, helping him feel confident, comfortable and engaged throughout the day.
