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 looking for compassionate, patient, and enthusiastic Healthcare Assistants to join our dedicated care team, supporting an 11-year-old boy with complex care needs in his family home.

He is a huge football fan and especially enjoys talking about his favourite teams, players, and memorable moments from the game. Football is a fantastic way to build a connection with him, and he loves sharing his knowledge and hearing others' thoughts on the sport.

He also enjoys spending time watching YouTube and has a keen interest in gaming content, particularly Pokémon, Fortnite, and Minecraft. Supporting him to engage in his hobbies and interests is an important part of the role, helping to create positive experiences and meaningful interactions throughout the day.

As part of this position, you will provide support with personal care, moving and handling, and his complex clinical care needs.

We are looking for someone who can build a positive and trusting relationship, encourage participation in the activities he enjoys, and help him make the most of each day.

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.

“This isn't just a job – it’s your opportunity to make a real difference in someone’s life.”
