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

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.

About This Role

We are looking for caring and enthusiastic Healthcare Assistants to provide 1:1 support to a friendly and sociable teenage girl living at home with her family in Bury.

She has a real love for music and enjoys playing instruments such as the guitar and drums, singing with others, and watching her favourite programmes, including Peppa Pig and Horrid Henry, on her TV or iPad.

She is non-verbal and communicates through her facial expressions, smiles, and laughter. Building a strong and trusting relationship with her is key, taking the time to understand her unique communication style and responding with patience, warmth, and kindness.

During the week, you will accompany her to school and provide care throughout the day, including personal care, transfers, and support with her clinical needs, while ensuring her health, comfort, and wellbeing are always prioritised. On non-school days, you will encourage her to enjoy fun and meaningful activities based around her interests, helping her stay engaged, happy, and involved in the things she loves.

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 care staff to join their team.

Where required, specialist clinical training will be provided by our highly skilled, in-house nursing team.
