You’ll log all incidents to make sure we have an accurate record of events. And when a customer leaves, you will clean and prepare their room, ready for the next occupant.

We are looking for someone with:

- **Own car is essential to drive to properties across the Guildford and Surrey area.**:

- An understanding of supporting vulnerable people - this could include having your own lived experience of homelessness or drug or alcohol addiction
