We are looking to expand our team of dedicated support workers at our services in Farnham. We have various contracts available and welcome applicants that are looking for part-time or full-time opportunities.

All shifts will be on rota basis with shifts spread across weekdays, weekends and bank holidays. Shifts will include mornings, afternoons and evenings and may include sleeping in (Payment for sleep-ins is competitive and compliant with National Living Wage requirements). Flexibility is important as all our shifts will be spread across the weekdays and weekends.

This may include supporting one of the people at the service with learning about history, supporting three of the people at the service to watch Liverpool and Chelsea, and supporting them on trips to Hayling island – could you be the one to give the 2p machine a friendly nudge?
