About us

At Apollo Home Healthcare, we provide high-quality, person-centred care to people in the comfort of their own homes. Every individual we support has unique needs – we tailor every care package to them, building a compassionate and skilled team around their requirements.

We live and work by the 6 Cs: Care, Compassion, Competence, Communication, Courage, and Commitment – and we’re looking for people who share those values.

Meet Our Client

A young lovable 3-year-old boy who enjoys interacting with his family and dedicated care team. He loves swimming, sensory lights, soft play and being outdoors.

As part of his care team during the day, you will provide a vital role in supporting him with his daily needs, clinical care and ensuring that he thrives both at home and while attending nursery.

You will also provide essential overnight care. His evenings typically begin around 6pm, starting with a bath and providing clinical care. He enjoys his playtime to wind down before settling to sleep, usually around 10pm. An essential part of his bedtime routine is having a star light/projector and a soft blanket to settle him to sleep.

We are looking for staff who are flexible to cover both day and night shifts.

Please note: Due to the nature of our vacancies, our clients have the right to request either female or male staff. Our client has specifically requested female care staff to join their team.

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

What You’ll Need

3 months’ care experience
Confident with medication, personal care, moving and handling
Clear communication skills
Essential pet friendly
What We Offer

Competitive hourly pay with enhancements for nights and weekends
Regular confirmed rotas and flexible scheduling
Reward & recognition programme
Supportive management and 24/7 on-call support
Opportunity to grow within a values-led, national care provider
Our funded training, including clinical skills, comes at no cost to you, though attendance is unpaid.
