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 kind and caring lady who lives at home with her mum in Shildon, alongside her much-loved dogs, Sage the Cocker Spaniel and Skye the Whippet, as well as two family cats. She has a huge passion for animals, especially her horses, and enjoys visiting them regularly.
She loves keeping busy, whether that’s spending time with friends and family, reading, watching television, or getting out and about with her dogs when the weather is nice. She is also keen to build up her strength and confidence to enjoy activities such as cooking, baking, and gardening at home.
She has a bubbly personality, enjoys a good chat, and loves to laugh and smile with those around her.
She benefits greatly from support from kind, patient, and encouraging carers who can help her continue enjoying the things she loves most. She is also looking for carers with similar interests who are bright, bubbly, and happy, and who genuinely want to work with her and build good, trusting relationships over time.
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 female carers only.
