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 wonderful young woman who loves to get out and about! She enjoys bowling, theatre trips, pantomimes, cinema outings, and seaside visits. When at home, she keeps busy with arts and crafts or relaxing in front of the TV. This is a fulfilling opportunity to support her both with her daily care needs and her favourite activities.



Our client requires close care due to her complex medical needs and can display challenging behaviours when feeling frustrated. We're looking for someone confident, patient, and resilient who can provide reassurance and calm, and offer positive distractions like her favourite beads or activities. She can find it tricky to settle at night and often only sleeps for a few hours, so she'll need gentle support, regular check-ins, and help with personal care during the night.

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

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.

Apply Now

If you're passionate about delivering high-quality, person-centred care and meet the requirements outlined above, we'd love to hear from you. To apply, please submit your CV through this job board.
