Job Description

  • Healthcare Assistant
  • Location: Blackburn, BB1
  • Pay Rate: £15.50 - £16.50 per hour
  • Shifts: Part Time Nights | 10pm to 7:30am

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

A happy and content young girl who is very independent and full of energy. She loves role-playing with her dolls house and play kitchen and has a real flair for makeup and nail polish (often practiced on her care team!). She enjoys trips to the park, shopping and goes to school during the day. You’ll support her in the things she loves, help with her learning and development, and provide care that’s sometimes a little complex but always rewarding. Her overnight care involves keeping an eye on her ventilator, oxygen, and heart rate, and stepping in with clinical care if needed.

Please note: Due to the nature of our vacancies, our clients have the right to request either female or male staff. Our client has requested females only to join their care team. “This isn't just a job – it’s your opportunity to make a real difference in someone’s life.”

What You’ll Need

  • 3 months’ care experience
  • Confident with medication, personal care, moving and handling
  • Clear communication skills
  • Comfortable around pets
  • Experience supporting children with Tracheostomy and Ventilation

What We Offer

  • 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.
