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:

We are seeking caring, patient, and reliable Healthcare Assistants to provide overnight support for a wonderful young boy in the comfort of his own home.

This is a highly rewarding opportunity to make a real difference by helping him feel safe, comfortable, and settled throughout the night. You will support his bedtime routine, offer reassurance and comfort, and provide a calm, attentive presence whenever he needs it.

While some nights may be peaceful and restful, others may require more hands-on care and clinical support. We are therefore looking for someone who can respond with confidence, compassion, and sensitivity to his changing needs.

He is a happy and playful little boy who enjoys:

• Cuddles and comfort at bedtime
• Watching CBeebies
• Music and familiar routines
• Being around calm, caring people who help him feel secure

Care requirements include:

• Personal care and moving & handling support
• PEG feeding
• Tracheostomy care and oxygen support

We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys delivering person-centred care and takes pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and reassuring environment for children and their families.

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

Our client’s parents have 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

• 3 months’ care experience
• Confident with medication, personal care, moving and handling
• Clear communication skills
• Experience working with children, either in a paid or personal capacity

What We Offer

• Competitive hourly pay with enhancements for weekends and bank holidays
• 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.
