Happy. Heard. Healthy. Achieving. That’s our vision for our children and young people across Sefton, but it’s also our vision for our own people. We want to support our Social Work teams to do their best work and for all employees across the service to be happy coming into work; feel valued and supported as people and professionals.

We are remodelling our teams, creating additional posts and increasing service manager capacity and assistant directors to provide increased support, oversight and focus.

Sefton is also the first local authority within the Liverpool City Region to be Navajo accredited, which means we’re committed to promoting the rights of LGBTQ+ people. As well as this, we’re also a Disability Confident accredited employer and are fully committed to building a diverse workforce that represents the needs of our communities. You can view our equality & diversity policy here.

We care passionately about our children, young people and families, and we’re looking for people who can #MakeADifference across all our communities, ensuring close working with partners to achieve best outcomes.

We’re committed to delivering the best possible service for our children, young people and families. In order to do this, we recognise how important it is to value people currently employed in Sefton and ensure that our offer to new people is attractive. So, here’s just some of what we can offer you – scroll down to see our full offer.
