About Alpha

We are a small team with a big heart and a strong stomach Working for Alpha you will be a valued member of a kind and committed award-winning company, working across Surrey and borders taking our specialist support to where it is required; aiming to reduce chaos and promote safety for our clients, their communities and subsequently our wider society.
