“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 kind, patient and nurturing Healthcare Assistants to support an 11-year-old boy who lives at home with his loving family.

He is a cheerful little boy who enjoys school and expresses a great interest in technology, especially mobile phones, tablets and videos.

Our service user would benefit from someone who can build positive relationships with him, encourage his confidence and social skills, and can gently introduce new activities and interests at his own pace.

This is a lovely opportunity for someone who is caring, engaging and enjoys helping children develop at their own pace.

Please note: Due to the nature of our vacancies, our clients have the right to request either female or male staff.
Our Clent’s family have requested female staff only to join their team.
