Are you ready to make a real difference in the lives of children and young people? If you're passionate, resilient, and committed to helping others thrive, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
At Together for Children Sunderland, we’re proud to be rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted—not just once, but twice (2021 and 2025). This reflects the dedication of our talented and well-supported team, and now we’re looking for more exceptional people to join us.
What’s it like working in our homes?
Our children’s homes are warm, welcoming, and full of life. They’re places where children feel safe, supported, and valued—just like any family home. Picture movie nights in the lounge, chats over tea in the kitchen, and time spent outdoors in the garden. Every child has their own bedroom to personalise, and staff on sleep-in duty have their own private space too.

We’re looking for individuals who are:
Enthusiastic, compassionate, and resilient
Experienced in working with children and young people
