“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.”
About This Role
We are looking for compassionate and dependable Healthcare Assistants to join a dedicated 2:1 care team supporting a gentleman in his 30s in his home in Leigh.

He also enjoys following Manchester United, watching his favourite TV series, getting out into the community, going for meals, and spending time socialising with his care team. A good sense of humour and the ability to build a genuine connection are especially important to him.
In this role, you will provide person-centred care tailored to his individual needs and routines. Alongside supporting his clinical interventions, you’ll assist with daily living tasks, meal preparation, household activities, and helping him enjoy an active social life.
Night shifts involve supporting his bedtime routine, providing reassurance and companionship, monitoring his clinical needs, and ensuring he remains safe, comfortable, and settled throughout the night.
We’re looking for patient and empathetic individuals who are confident delivering complex clinical care and passionate about making a positive difference through compassionate, respectful support.
