“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 a compassionate and enthusiastic Healthcare Assistant to support a lively and energetic 5-year-old boy who lives at home with his loving family.
