We are looking for an enthusiastic, compassionate and motivated individual, to take on an exciting new opportunity in the role of Support Worker. The individual will be based at Barrack Street Project. This is a partnership with South Lanarkshire Council and as part of this project we are looking to recruit members of staff from our external candidates and/or existing teams to support Ukrainian Refugees seeking safe and secure accommodation.
