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.

About This Role:

Are you a confident, people-focused professional with a commercial mindset and a passion for delivering life-changing care?

In this role, you’ll be the face of new business—building strong relationships with commissioners, case managers, and private clients, while playing a key part in growing our complex care services. You’ll lead on new referrals and work closely with our operational, clinical, and quality teams to ensure every care package is implemented safely, professionally, and with heart.

This isn’t just about hitting numbers—it’s about helping people access the care they deserve, and making sure the transition into our service is as smooth and safe as possible.

You’ll be based out of our Peterborough office, with the flexibility to work from home 1–2 days a week. Covering the South East region, you’ll collaborate closely with our internal teams and travel to meet clients and partners as needed.

You’ll need to be commercially focused with a good understanding of care operations. Experience in a similar role is preferred, and while a homecare background is welcome, complex care experience is a big plus.

In this role, you'll:

• Carry out structured business development to generate new package referrals
• Attend meetings with Commissioners, families, and multidisciplinary professionals
• Complete quotes, submissions, and tender documentation to support new business
• Work closely with operational teams to ensure safe implementation of care packages
• Review and set rates for new business in conjunction with offices and finance.
• Contribute to marketing campaigns to generate new business
• Maintain and report on your business pipeline for accurate forecasting
• Collaborate with internal teams, maintaining a joined-up approach
• Take part in our senior management out of hours escalation (approx. every 8 weeks)

  What You’ll Need:

• Full UK driving licence with access to a vehicle
• A strong background in healthcare—ideally complex care.
• A proven track record in sales, business development, or a commercial role with experience driving business growth.
• Demonstrated ability to build and maintain strong business relationships
• Comfortable working independently while staying connected with wider teams
• Adaptable communication style and people-first mindset
• Strong organisational skills to manage a varied and fast-paced workload
• Familiarity with working alongside ICBs, Commissioners, and Case Managers (preferred)

  What We Offer:

• Competitive, based on experience
• £4,800 annual car allowance
• An extra day off on your birthday*
• Loyalty reward programmes at 3 and 5 years*
• Refer a friend scheme
