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 supporting a teenage girl who lives in Bury with her family. She has a real passion for music, playing instruments like guitars and drums, and enjoys singing with others. In her free time she likes watching shows such as Peppa Pig and Horrid Henry on television and iPad. She is unable to communicate verbally and does so through facial expressions, laughter and smiles.

During weekdays, you will accompany her to school and provide support throughout the day, including personal care and help with transfers. She will be picked up and dropped off at home by school transport. On days when she does not attend school, you will help meet her needs and engage her in activities she enjoys most, ensuring her day is fun, stimulating, and fulfilling.

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.
