Don't just take our word for it...

“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 dedicated Healthcare Assistants to provide warm, compassionate and person-centred care for a 2-year-old girl living with her family.

You’ll support her with her personal care, daily routines and clinical care needs, with full training and ongoing support provided where required. Your role will be focused on helping her feel safe, comfortable and well supported while encouraging her development and independence through age-appropriate activities.

You’ll be joining a loving family home with two small dogs, so being comfortable around pets is important. The family is looking for kind, reliable and attentive carers who can build a trusting relationship with their daughter and engage her through activities she enjoys, including sensory play, lights and TV.

This is a rewarding opportunity to become a valued member of her care team and make a meaningful difference to her day-to-day life.

Please note: Due to the nature of our vacancies, our clients have the right to request either female or male staff.

Our client’s family have 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.”

We do not hold a sponsorship licence and are therefore unable to consider applicants requiring sponsorship.
