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

A kind and caring lady who lives at home with her mum in Shildon, alongside her much-loved dogs, Sage the Cocker Spaniel and Skye the Whippet, as well as two family cats. She has a huge passion for animals, especially her horses, and enjoys visiting them regularly.

She loves keeping busy, whether that's spending time with friends and family, reading, watching television, or getting out and about with her dogs when the weather is nice. She is also keen to build her strength and confidence to enjoy activities such as cooking, baking, and gardening at home.

She has a bubbly personality, enjoys a good chat, and loves to laugh and smile with those around her.

She benefits from the support of kind, patient, and encouraging carers who can help her maintain her independence and continue enjoying the things she loves most.

She is looking for carers with similar interests who are friendly, positive, and enthusiastic, and who genuinely want to build a trusting relationship and become a valued part of her support team over time.

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 only to join their care team.

“This isn't just a job – it’s your opportunity to make a real difference in someone’s life.”

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