Child and Family Worker, Children with Disability Team
Grade 5 £30,60 - £32,654 per annum
Permanent, Full Time
Interview Date: 7 April, 2025
We are looking for two suitably experienced Child & Family Workers to join the Children with Disability Team.
Are you passionate about supporting children with complex needs to reach their full potential? If so, then please consider joining our Children with Disabilities Team and become part of our outstanding service.
This is an exciting opportunity to join an established team, based at the Sandhill Centre. You will have responsibility for supporting children and young people with disabilities who access a care package of support. As part of your role, you will review care packages and ensure services are co-ordinated to best meet individual need.
Child & Family Workers also support social workers in their work with families; delivering interventions and parenting support as and when required.
Experience of working with children, young people and families with disabilities is desirable but not essential. You must be a team player and be able to form positive relationships with colleagues and partner agencies.
You will benefit from a manageable caseload and a high level of support.
Together for Children’s current working arrangement is a pattern of agile home working and office-based working. This COVID secure model ensures our staff are kept safe whilst receiving the consistent support they require from colleagues, Team Managers and the Senior Management.
Please note that Together for Children is unable to provide Skilled Worker visa sponsorship for this position.
This post is exempt from the rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore will be subject to a DBS check from the Disclosure and Barring Service.
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’re striving to build an inclusive workplace culture where all employees feel valued and diversity is celebrated by everyone.

We welcome and encourage job applications from candidates regardless of their age, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, belief or race, and background. As well as an attractive and competitive salary, other benefits of working for Together for Children include agile working arrangements, membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme and a flexi-time scheme. A comprehensive health and wellbeing programme is also on offer to all employees.
