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

Our client is a cheerful and engaging young girl who enjoys spending time with the people around her.

She enjoys music, sensory activities, watching her favourite TV programmes, and is currently learning Makaton.

Although she does not communicate verbally, she is very expressive, using eye contact, facial expressions, and vocalisations to interact with others.

We’re seeking carers who are patient, gentle, and willing to build trust at her pace.

Due to her complex care needs, she requires support throughout the night from confident and attentive carers who can provide clinical care while ensuring her comfort, safety, and wellbeing.

Working closely with her family, you will play an important role in maintaining her established routines, monitoring her needs, and providing reassurance and support to help her have a restful night in the comfort of her own home.

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 female carers only

“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 administration, personal care, moving and handling
• Clear communication skills
