“I was very sceptical about leaving my old job but I’m so I glad I took the leap and applied for my position at Apollo. Best thing I ever did, I get to spend more time with my children and watch them grow. Everyone is so friendly and easy to approach if you have a problem.” – Current HCA
About This Role
Do you have a passion for making a difference?
We're looking for compassionate and dedicated Healthcare Assistants to provide 1:1 support to a fun-loving 7-year-old boy with complex care needs, helping him thrive throughout his school day in Lichfield.
This is a rewarding opportunity where you'll deliver high-quality clinical and personal care while encouraging him to enjoy his day and participate in school life. He is a happy and engaging little boy who loves watching films—especially Toy Story—playing the drums and piano, and responds well to positive praise, laughter, and interaction with those around him.
As a Healthcare Assistant, you will support him with:
- Personal care
- Moving and handling
- JEJ tube feeding, nutrition, and hydration
- Deep oral suctioning
- Ventilator support, when required
If you're compassionate, reliable, and passionate about making a genuine difference in a child's life, we'd love to hear from you.
Please note: Due to the nature of our vacancies, our clients have the right to request either female or male staff.
“This isn't just a job – it’s your opportunity to make a real difference in someone’s life.”
