Are you an experienced and compassionate Social Worker looking to support families and children through their adoption journey? We’re seeking a dedicated professional to join the Adoption in Merseyside (AiM) team — a regionalised service formed by Wirral, Liverpool, Sefton and Knowsley councils. This is a specialist role supporting adoptive families, assessing adopter needs, and ensuring children with adoption plans are matched with the right families, at the right time, with the right support.

You will be employed by Wirral Borough Council and seconded to Knowsley Borough Council, the host authority for AiM. While the role is largely home-based, you’ll be expected to attend team meetings, visits, and other in-person commitments as required.

- Training and preparation for prospective adopters
- Collaborative work with local authorities to secure timely, stable adoptive placements
- Clear, evidence-based recommendations and written reports
- Qualified Social Worker registered with Social Work England
- 4+ years’ post-qualified experience, ideally within adoption, permanence or children’s services
- Strong understanding of adoption regulations, policies, and support frameworks
- Skilled in producing analytical, high-quality assessments and support plans
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
- Commitment to securing the best long-term outcomes for children and adoptive families
- Join a collaborative and specialist regional adoption team
- Hybrid/home working and flexible hours
- Competitive hourly rate
- Work that truly changes lives and builds forever families
- Dedicated consultant with access to social work roles nationwide
- Fast and simple online registration process
- Weekly payroll and ongoing compliance support
- Referral schemes and bonuses available
