Are you a passionate, qualified Social Worker ready to do more than just a job? This is your opportunity to be part of something transformational, where your work creates meaningful, lasting change in the lives of children, young people and their families.

At Knowsley, we are on a bold journey. With clear ambition, strong leadership and significant investment, we are not just improving services for Children and Young People, we are redefining what great looks like. You will be at the heart of that journey.

At Knowsley, you can shape a working pattern that fits your life, with options including condensed hours, part-time and reduced hours. There is a requirement for you to attend your work base at least 2-3 day’s per week.

Be part of a service on the rise

Your work will directly improve the safety, stability and life chances of children and young people. From supporting families through crisis, to helping children remain safely at home or find loving alternatives, you will see the tangible impact of your decisions and care.

Big impact, close community

Influence brighter futures 

You will help children and young people achieve their potential, supporting education, wellbeing, and long-term success, while empowering families to create positive, lasting change.

Work where you are truly valued 

Join a collaborative, supportive team culture where your contribution is recognised and celebrated.

Balance that works for you 

We are committed to manageable caseloads and supportive management, so you have the time to focus on what matters most, building relationships and achieving lasting change for children and families.

Perfectly connected 

An easy commute from across the North West means you can access meaningful work without compromise.

Our commitment

We are serious about creating the best possible outcomes for children and young people. That means investing in our people, strengthening leadership at every level, and fostering a culture of continuous learning, innovation and improvement.

This is your chance to step into a service that is energised, ambitious and moving forward, fast.
