Summary
Join our Supported Accommodation team as a Support Coordinator and help create a safe, supportive space for young people aged 16 – 21 in our Supported Housing facility situated near Sunderland city centre.

Working closely with a dedicated team, you’ll ensure continuous support and help to build trust and stability. This is more than a job, it is a chance to make a lasting impact on young people’s lives.
