“I was very skeptical 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.”
About This Role
We are looking for caring, compassionate, and engaging Healthcare Assistants to provide dedicated 1:1 support for a cheerful 6-year-old boy within his family home.
