Make a Real Impact in Your Community

There’s never been a more exciting time to join Wirral Council. We’re on an ambitious journey to deliver lasting, positive change for our residents — and we’re looking for passionate professionals ready to make a difference. If you’re committed to improving lives, delivering high-quality services, and want to be part of a council that values its people, this could be the role for you.

About the Role

As part of our Adult Social Care Review Team, you’ll play a key role in reassessing and reviewing care plans for adults recently discharged from hospital and those living in the community. Your work will also involve:

  • Supporting key adult social care projects
  • Engaging with care home and domiciliary care providers facing risk
  • Working closely with colleagues in contracts, commissioning, and quality improvement

This is a diverse and rewarding opportunity that will allow you to use and enhance your skills in a CPD-focused environment. You’ll be expected to deliver outcomes-focused, legally literate social work interventions and assessments, with a particular focus on supporting older adults.

What We’re Looking For

We welcome applications from skilled, committed practitioners who meet the following essential criteria:

  • Registered with Social Work England
  • A recognised Social Work qualification
  • Evidence of Continued Professional Development (CPD)
  • A full UK driving licence and access to a car for work

You’ll also need to complete:

  • An enhanced DBS check
  • Satisfactory references and an Occupational Health assessment

International Applicants Welcome

Wirral Council holds a Skilled Worker visa sponsorship licence and welcomes applications from non-UK residents who:

  • Are registered with Social Work England, and
  • Require sponsorship to work in the UK

Please note: A Certificate of Sponsorship is not a visa. You will still need to apply for and obtain your visa to have the legal right to work in the UK.

What We Offer

At Wirral Council, we’re proud of our inclusive, collaborative culture. You’ll join a team that values your voice, supports your development, and recognises your impact. Our offer includes:

  • 28 days’ annual leave (plus public holidays)
  • Local Government Pension Scheme with generous employer contributions
  • Immediate life cover and ill-health protection
  • Flexible working and hybrid options
  • Access to staff discounts and wellbeing support
  • A clear pathway for career development and internal progression
