“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

This is a rewarding opportunity to provide dedicated daytime support, on a 2:1 basis, to a happy and sociable 17-year-old young man with complex care needs.

He has a cheeky side and an infectious smile that is sure to brighten your day! He enjoys having people around him, socialising and attending school. He loves watching Mr Tumble (often enjoying the same episodes on repeat!), listening to nursery rhymes and exploring his sensory toys. He also particularly enjoys spending quality time playing with his younger brother.

Your role will involve providing personalised clinical and personal care throughout the day, supporting his daily routines, wellbeing and individual needs.

You will also help him access school and activities he enjoys, encourage interaction and engagement, and support him to maintain positive relationships with those around him.

We are looking for someone who is patient, enthusiastic and compassionate, with a genuine passion for supporting young people with complex care needs and making a positive difference to their daily lives.

Please note: Due to the nature of our vacancies, our clients have the right to request either female or male staff.

Our client’s family has requested females only to join their team.

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