“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 dedicated, compassionate, and enthusiastic Healthcare Assistants to support a lovely gentleman in his 20s with complex care needs. Support is provided on a 2:1 basis across two homes.

He would benefit from a friendly, patient, and engaging Healthcare Assistant who can support his interests, encourage his independence, and help him enjoy new experiences.

During day shifts, you will support his daily routines, clinical needs, and social activities, helping him to remain comfortable, engaged, and happy. Night shifts will involve ensuring his comfort and safety, responding to his needs, and supporting him to have a calm and restful night's sleep.
