Job description

Apollo Home Healthcare is seeking experienced Healthcare Assistants to support a young man with his complex care needs.

We are looking for dedicated and compassionate Healthcare Assistants who are passionate about their job, enjoy delivering one to one support and who can build positive relationships with our service users and their families.

Our service user is in his early 20s and has a neuromuscular condition that primarily affects his muscles that are used for moving and breathing.

We provide an extensive training programme for all his clinical needs which is led by our highly skilled Registered Nurses. They will ensure that the programme is conducted at your own pace whilst fully supporting and guiding you throughout the process.

Please note, training will be delivered during day hours, for which you must be available.
