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

He lives with his loving family in Nottingham and is reaching an exciting milestone, as he will be starting his school journey in September! To ensure he can fully engage in his education, we are building a dedicated team of skilled Healthcare Assistants to provide clinical support throughout his school day, along with essential overnight care to ensure his safety and create a peaceful environment.

He is a bright and curious boy who loves music, books, football, and playing with his toys. He requires a friendly and energetic care team that supports his development through play and helps him feel happy and safe at school, ensuring his well-being and progress. He is unable to communicate verbally and expresses his needs using picture cards; he is also learning Makaton. It is important that you can understand and interpret his non-verbal cues, to ensure his needs are met effectively.

• Tracheostomy care
• Ventilation management
• Personal care
• Moving and handling

This is an ideal opportunity to take your childcare experience to the next level and make a lasting difference in the lives of children with complex needs.

What We Offer
