About The Role
Make a real difference in someone’s life. Mulberry House, our supported housing service in Guildford, is looking for a caring and motivated Support Worker to join our team.

This is a 24/7 service with shifts including: 8:00am–4:00pm, 3:00pm–11:00pm, and sleep‑ins (paid additionally) until 8:00am.

- £100 welcome payment, plus £250 at 6 months and £250 at 12 months
