Are you looking to make a real impact in the lives of young people in Sunderland? Do you have experience working with teenagers and want to channel your skills into something truly rewarding? If so, we want to hear from you!

**The Role:**
We’re looking for enthusiastic, proactive, and resilient individuals to join our team.

**What We’re Looking For:**
**Patience & Understanding:** You recognise that every young person has their own unique challenges and you’re committed to helping them overcome these.
**Confidence & Assertiveness:** You can hold your own, setting clear boundaries and providing strong, consistent support.
**Proactivity & Problem-Solving:** You’re a self-starter who can take the initiative and adapt to the ever-changing needs of our students.
**Sense of Humour:** Working with teenagers isn’t always easy, but your ability to laugh, stay positive, and bring energy to the classroom will make all the difference.

**Why Work With Us?**
**Impactful Work:** Be a key player in helping students navigate their challenges and grow into confident, capable young adults.
**Supportive Team:** Join a passionate and dedicated team that’s here to support you every step of the way.
**Professional Development:** We offer ongoing training and development opportunities to help you succeed and grow in your role.
**Work-Life Balance:** Enjoy a rewarding role that values your time, with a schedule that supports a healthy work-life balance.
