Job Description

Shape futures and make a real difference every day with Knowsley Borough Council.

Knowsley is on a bold journey to redefine excellence in Children’s Services. As a qualified Social Worker, you will be at the heart of that transformation — supporting children, young people and their families through some of life’s most challenging moments, from crisis intervention to helping children remain safely at home or find loving alternative placements.

As a smaller authority, you will see the tangible impact of your work every day in the communities you serve. Knowsley is committed to manageable caseloads, strong leadership at every level, and a collaborative, supportive team culture where your contribution is recognised.

Flexible working options are available, including condensed hours, part-time and reduced hours, with a requirement to attend your Huyton base at least 2–3 days per week.

The role is offered on a permanent basis at a salary of £42,839. Knowsley offers a competitive public sector pension, a full benefits package, and genuine commitment to your continuous professional development.

You will be a Social Work England registered Social Worker with a passion for achieving positive, lasting outcomes for children and families, a confident communicator who builds meaningful relationships, and someone committed to growing your career with full organisational support.
