Job description

We're expanding our services in Derbyshire and are seeking compassionate Healthcare Assistants to join our team, supporting a young girl who lives with her family in New Mills. She loves exploring the world and communicating in her own unique way. We're looking for kind and patient individuals who can take the time to understand her personality, support her communication style, and help her engage with the world around her. Her sensory needs mean that everyday routines, such as brushing her hair, can sometimes be a little tricky, so a gentle and understanding approach is essential. You'll help her feel safe, supported, and encouraged, offering reassurance and building trust along the way. Your role will include supporting her daily routines, carrying out personal care, assisting with mobility, and helping her to settle comfortably for the night. Please note: Due to the nature of our vacancies, our clients have the right to request either female or male staff. Our client has specifically requested females only to join their care team.

• At least 3 months care experience
• Confident with medication, personal care, moving and handling
• Clear communication skills
• Drivers with access to a vehicle
• 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. 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
• Our funded training, including clinical skills, comes at no cost to you, though attendance is unpaid.
