Sunderland is a fantastic, forward-looking, ambitious city undergoing significant transformation and economic regeneration. From the seafront and the city centre, to building locations of national strategic significance, we are creating the very best conditions for our 280,000 residents who live here and those who come to the city to work. We provide a huge variety of services across the city, currently employing approximately 2,500 people in many roles ranging from gardeners to building maintenance technicians, ICT experts to social workers and many more. At all levels we work together to achieve real change across the city. Sunderland is one of the few cities in the UK to be situated on the coast, whilst benefitting from easy access to the countryside, a short drive from two international airports, direct rail access to London and less than a twenty-minute drive from Durham and Newcastle. We have a growing cultural scene. Sunderland Empire theatre attracts high-profile West End productions, and the Fire Station is Sunderland&rsquo;s premier live music and performance venue. Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens and Northern Gallery of Contemporary Art are all close to the city centre. Sunderland is a great place to work. Wherever you&rsquo;re coming from, you&rsquo;ll discover a place &ndash; and people &ndash; that will make you feel at home. &nbsp;
