Wirral is home to lively, energetic, and involved communities, individuals that care deeply about their community and are dedicated to make it a better place. The council and its partners have committed to #BeingTheDifference.

We have big aims to fulfil by 2025. To deliver on all of our promises to our citizens, we need people who are motivated and eager to make a difference in our communities – #BeTheDifference.

We are presently taking applications for both Social Workers and Experienced Social Workers.

Help us make a difference for children and young people.

Wirral is an excellent area to work. We are a helpful and loving council dedicated to developing and advancing our social care workers so that they can attain their full potential and thrive.

Wirral children and young people are at the centre of everything we do. We want to make Wirral a great place for children and their families, so we’re searching for talented social workers to join our #bethedifference campaign to improve outcomes for children and young people.

This is an opportunity to build key child in need and child protection skills by collaborating closely with children, young people, and their families to create child-centered, co-produced plans that represent family ambitions and sustainability.

In this post, you will have access to a variety of learning and development opportunities given by a dedicated Practice Improvement Team, which will not only enhance your work with children and families, but will also allow you to grow yourself and build resilience.

You will also be supplied with the necessary tools and working infrastructure to work flexibly around your personal requirements as well as the needs of children and families, allowing you to maximise productivity and achieve tight deadlines without being burdened by process and bureaucracy.

Wirral not only offers a competitive wage, but also a slew of other benefits that contribute to the city’s appeal. As an employee, you will join our collective family and participate in a series of thought-provoking and relevant staff engagement activities organised by visible leaders and managers. You will have access to a personalised wellbeing programme that is targeted to the needs of Social Care employees and sensitive to the hard and harsh circumstances they face.

Please keep in mind that the certificate of sponsorship is not a visa; in order to work in the UK, an individual must apply for and acquire a visa.

Please be aware that, in accordance with Council policy, staff who are in a formal redeployment situation will be considered first for all openings.

Council policy is not to re-appoint any employee who has left under the provisions of the Council’s Early Voluntary Retirement (EVR) program or who have departed with a voluntary severance (VS) package, save under extraordinary circumstances.

Applications will be accepted up until midnight on the closing date.
