Together for Children have Children's Homes across Sunderland, caring for children and young people up to the age of 18. Grasswell House is a 6 bed children’s home that has provided excellent care to children and young people for many years.
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, experienced worker. 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.
