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
We are currently caring for a young toddler who lives at home with his family in Swaffham. He is a content and affectionate little boy who enjoys cuddles, sensory toys, and listening to lullabies.

As part of his dedicated care team, you will be providing one-to-one support throughout the night. This includes attending to his personal care needs, administering medications, monitoring his condition, and managing his clinical interventions.

During your shifts, you will ensure his safety and comfort if he wakes, offering gentle reassurance, plenty of cuddles, and positive interaction to help him feel settled.

We are ideally seeking Healthcare Assistants who have a genuine interest in working with children and are skilled in Tracheostomy care and PEG Feeding; however, this is not essential. Please note: Due to the nature of our vacancies, our clients have the right to request either female or male staff.

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

  • 3 months’ care experience
  • Confident with medication, personal care, moving and handling
  • Clear communication skills
  • UK Driving Licence and access to a vehicle

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
