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

We are looking for casual employees to support with our full time workers.


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.
