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.

We are supporting a young man in his late teens with clinical and complex care needs. He is a calm, happy individual who lives at home with his family in Blackburn. He enjoys watching cartoons, listening to music, and engaging in sensory play. He particularly enjoys soft textures, such as his favourite blanket and fluffy toys, which provide him with comfort and enjoyment.

He requires full assistance with personal care, mobility, and clinical interventions. Overnight, we expect you to be highly attentive, providing regular monitoring to ensure his safety, comfort, and wellbeing throughout the night.

He will usually be settled in bed before the care team arrives. He may occasionally wake during the night for a short period of play before returning to sleep.

Using a nurturing, family‑home environment, we provide meaningful work and a supportive team. Due to the nature of our vacancies, our clients have the right to request either female or male staff. Our client has specifically requested female care staff to join their team.

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

• 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.

If you’re passionate about delivering high‑quality, person‑centred care and meet the requirements outlined above, we’d love to hear from you. To apply, please submit your CV through this job board.
