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 compassionate and reliable Healthcare Assistants to join the team supporting a friendly teenage girl in her family home in Darlington.

We are looking for dedicated individuals with excellent attention to detail who are committed to promoting her safety, comfort, wellbeing, and quality of life. She is home-schooled, enjoys taking part in a variety of activities throughout the day, and loves spending time outdoors when the weather allows.

Alongside providing her clinical care, you will play an important role in supporting her to enjoy these meaningful experiences and make the most of each day.

As part of this role, you will support our client with a range of complex clinical interventions, as well as providing personal care and mobility support. You will also support her learning, play, and daily activities, helping to create a positive and engaging environment.

This is a specialist role and, due to the complexity of her medical needs, you will receive comprehensive training within the family home. Working closely with her family and established care team, you will help deliver safe, high-quality, person-centred care that enables her to thrive at 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 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.”

What You’ll Need

• 3 months’ care experience
• Confident with medication, personal care, moving and handling
• Clear communication skills

What We Offer

• Competitive hourly pay with enhancements for nights and weekends
• 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.
