Nook Lodge and Maple Cottage Children's Homes

Deputy Manager, (1 post)

Grade 8:
£ £43421 per annum plus an alternating shift allowance and shift work following as rota pattern including evenings, weekends, and sleep ins (payable at £40.76 per sleep in).

Interviews will be held Thursday 30th May 2024


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

Nook Lodge and Maple Cottage are our smaller children's homes providing care for a total of 5 younger children across the two homes.


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 an enthusiastic, tenacious, and caring individual with significant experience of working in children's homes or similar settings.

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.
