  • 3 x Salary Life Cover via Local Government Pension Scheme
  • Investment in your personal development

  • Flexible working arrangements
  • Extensive employee benefits platform including discounted shopping, car leasing, gym memberships, wellbeing hub and Employee Assistance Programme

Our Commitment

We have a strong vision for social work practice in Halton and are embedding a relationship-based practice model with systemic practice at its core. We’re on a journey for excellence to ensure that children and young people get the best service so they can thrive and achieve. We are committed to supporting our Social Workers and Managers to achieve their aspirations, with real opportunities to progress through training and development as an advanced practitioner or future leader.
