“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 dedicated female Healthcare Assistants to provide 1:1 support to a lovely 10-year-old girl in her family home, where she lives with her mum and two siblings.

She is a happy and sociable young girl who enjoys Disney, lullabies, sensory activities and trips to the park.

She has her own unique way of communicating through touch, facial expressions and sounds, and responds well to carers who take the time to understand her needs and preferences.

She settles for bed around 10pm and generally sleeps well. Overnight, you’ll monitor her and provide support as needed, including medication, repositioning and monitoring her oxygen levels and Mic-Key tube.

We are looking for someone who is mature, reliable, patient and caring, with a calm approach to supporting children with complex care needs.

Previous experience supporting children or young people with complex healthcare needs is desirable.

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

• Have the right to work in the UK.
• Be committed to delivering safe, compassionate and child-centred care.
