“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 a compassionate, caring and experienced Healthcare Assistant to support a lady in her 30s with her daily care and complex clinical needs.

She enjoys spending time with family and friends, listening to music, colouring and exploring sensory activities. Providing person-centred support to help her maintain her routine, enjoy her interests and feel comfortable and supported is an important part of this role.

As her Healthcare Assistant, you will assist with her personal care and clinical needs across both day and night shifts, ensuring her safety, comfort and wellbeing at all times. Previous experience with tracheostomy care is essential.

During the day, you will support her at home with her morning routine and personal care before transport arrives to take her to the day centre. You will also support her while at the day centre, encouraging her involvement in activities and helping her make the most of her time there.

This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who is passionate about providing high-quality, person-centred care and helping an individual maintain her daily routine, dignity and quality of life.
