“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 compassionate and caring Healthcare Assistants to join a dedicated care team supporting a lovely 5-year-old girl with complex healthcare needs within her own home.

Our client is happy young girl who enjoys playing with her toys, watching cartoons and spending time with her older sister. She particularly enjoys playing with her Tonie Box, as well as exploring the variety of teddies and toys in her play area.

You will play an important role in supporting her daily routine, getting to know her individual communication style and encouraging her to enjoy the activities she loves. The role involves providing personal care, clinical support, monitoring and recording clinical observations, and assisting with daily activities. You will follow her individual care plan to ensure her safety, comfort and overall wellbeing.

This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who is caring, reliable and enthusiastic about making a positive difference to a young girl's life. If you enjoy building meaningful relationships, supporting a child's development and providing high-quality, compassionate care, we would love to hear from you.

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 female carers to join their care team.

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

Clinical Experience

Previous experience supporting children with complex healthcare needs is desirable.

Where required, specialist clinical training will be provided by our highly skilled, in-house nursing team.

Essential Requirements

To be considered for this role, applicants must:

  • Have a minimum of 3 months' paid experience working in a professional care setting within the UK.
  • Have the right to work in the UK
  • Be committed to delivering safe, compassionate and child-centred care. 
  • Be willing to complete client-specific, clinical training where required. 
  • Be comfortable around dogs, as the client has two pet dogs living in her home.

We do not hold a sponsorship licence and are therefore unable to consider applicants requiring sponsorship.

About You

We're looking for someone who is:

  • Caring, kind and compassionate 
  • Patient and reliable  
  • Friendly and engaging 
  • Passionate about supporting children and young people 
  • Able to build positive relations with children and their families  
  • A strong communicator 
  • A positive team player

Why Apollo?

At Apollo Home Healthcare, people are at the heart of everything we do. We're one of the UK's leading providers of specialist home healthcare, supporting babies, children, young people and adults with complex healthcare needs.

We’re passionate about delivering high-quality, person-centred complex care that enables our clients to live safely, independently and comfortably in the place they call home. 

We know that exceptional care starts with exceptional people. That's why we're committed to supporting our Healthcare Assistants through specialist training and ongoing clinical support.

Whether you're joining us with previous complex care experience or looking to build on your existing skills, you'll be part of a compassionate team dedicated to making a positive difference every day.
