  Are you a Nursery Nurse looking to use your childcare skills in a new and rewarding role?

At Apollo Home Healthcare, we're looking for caring and enthusiastic Nursery Nurses to join our team as Healthcare Assistants, supporting a young boy with complex healthcare needs in his own home.

You don't need previous complex care experience. We'll provide full, client-specific clinical training, helping you build on your existing childcare skills and develop new ones.

Take your Nursery Nurse experience into children's complex care

We are looking for a caring, patient and attentive Nursery Nurse to support a young boy with complex care needs during overnight shifts in his own home in Oldham.

He has a lovely personality and enjoys technology, music and spending time with familiar people. He loves playing games on his iPad and watching his favourite YouTube videos.

Although he is non-verbal, he communicates using a communication device. We are looking for someone who is observant, nurturing and willing to take the time to understand his individual communication methods and recognise his needs.

You will provide dedicated 1:1 overnight support, following his established routines, maintaining a calm and reassuring environment and ensuring he remains safe and comfortable.

Due to his complex needs, continuous monitoring is required throughout the night. This is a waking night position, requiring you to remain awake, alert and attentive throughout the shift.

This is a rewarding opportunity for a compassionate Nursery Nurse with a genuine passion for supporting children with additional needs and making a positive difference to his everyday life.

• Have a minimum of three months' paid experience working in a professional nursery setting in the UK.

• Hold a full UK driving licence and be confident driving the client's adapted manual vehicle.
