“I was very sceptical 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.” – Current HCA

About This Role

We are looking for caring and dedicated Healthcare Assistants to join our team supporting a precious 6-month-old baby girl.

She is currently in hospital awaiting discharge, and we are building a care team ready to support her transition home.

You will play an important part in her everyday life, working closely with her parents and wider care team to keep her safe, comfortable and well supported.

Alongside providing her care, you’ll help make her days fun and enjoyable through age-appropriate activities such as bubbles, messy play, nursery rhymes and interaction, helping her enjoy those special everyday moments while supporting her development.

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 to join their team.
