Job description

We're supporting an 8‑year‑old girl who lives at home with her mum and siblings. She loves Disney, lullabies, sensory play, and trips to the park. We're looking for caring and reliable carers to join her 1:1 team for part‑time nights. She has complex medical needs and requires full support with personal care, mobility, and specialist clinical tasks. She is non‑verbal but communicates through touch and expression and responds best when her care is explained to her. Overnight duties include settling her to sleep, monitoring her throughout the night, administering medication, repositioning every 2–3 hours and managing her clinical interventions. Please note: due to the nature of our vacancies, our clients have the right to request either female or male staff. Our client has requested females only to join their care team. “This isn’t just a job – it’s your opportunity to make a real difference in someone’s life.”

• Minimum 3 months’ care experience
• Confident with medication, personal care, moving and handling
• Clear communication skills

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 and we tailor each care package to them. 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. Apollo Home Healthcare is an equal‑opportunity employer, advertising numerous vacancies on behalf of our clients and these specific requirements do not reflect the views of our organisation.

• 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
• Opportunity to grow within a values‑led, national care provider
• Funded training, including clinical skills, comes at no cost to you, though attendance is unpaid.
