Together for Children have Children's Homes across Sunderland, caring for children and young people up to the age of 18.

We are currently recruiting for several of our homes, including a new children's home we are opening which will specialise in caring for children with disabilities.


Our homes are like any other home, they are safe and secure places where children and young people are cared for and supported to learn, develop, and thrive as they grow up.

Our homes look and sound a lot like your own home - a living room that hosts movie and game nights on weekends, a kitchen where you sit together and talk about your day while you have tea, and a garden where you can make the most of the outdoors.

All our children have their own private bedroom, which they can decorate to suit their own personal style. Our homes also have private bedrooms and bathrooms for staff who are on sleep-in duty.

We are looking for enthusiastic, tenacious, and motivated people to work with our children and young people. In return you will receive appropriate training opportunities as part of your continuous professional development.


These posts are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore will be subject to an Enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check.

You must be over 21 to comply with the Children's Homes Regulations.

Please note that Together for Children is unable to provide Skilled Worker visa sponsorship for this position.

If you have any questions about the vacancy or would like an informal discussion with one of the managers, please email


Hear from some of our Residential Childcare Workers, who tell us more about what the role involves and what they like most about working in our Children's Homes.


Together for Children is committed to developing and retaining a workforce that is representative of the diverse local communities that we support across Sunderland.

We are striving to build an inclusive workplace culture where all employees feel valued, and diversity is celebrated by everyone.


As part of this commitment, we work collaboratively with our established employee networks: Accessibility Network, LGBTQ+ Network, Racial Equality Network and Armed Forces Network.


We welcome and encourage job applications from candidates regardless of their age, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, belief or race, and background.
