“I was very skeptical 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.”

About This Role

We are looking for compassionate and experienced Healthcare Assistants to support a friendly 66-year-old gentleman with complex care needs in his family home in Elephant & Castle.

Family is at the heart of his life, and he enjoys spending time with his loved ones, playing dominoes and board games, watching television, attending prayer, and visiting the local gardens.
