“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. He enjoys watching TV, playing, and staying active, so this role is ideal for someone who can match his enthusiasm, encourage his interests, and bring a fun, positive approach to his care.

In this rewarding role, you will provide dedicated support both at school and at home, ensuring his personal and clinical care needs are met with compassion, professionalism, and respect.

As he leads an active lifestyle, you'll need to be confident keeping up with his energy, engaging in play and activities, and helping him enjoy each day while promoting his wellbeing, independence, and development.

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 Healthcare Assistant to join their 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 working in a household with cats

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.

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.
