Children’s Services Recruitment Event

Join our team!

Innovation and initiatives to improve children’s lives are at the forefront of everything Blackpool Council does. We listen to children, respect their views and champion their rights. Our vision is entirely dictated by what our children and families want – to be happy, safe and healthy, living in a town they feel supported and listened to.

We are looking for talented and passionate individuals who want to succeed in helping us to achieve a better future for children and families. If you are a qualified social worker with at least one to two years experience, ready for a challenge and dedicated to help us achieve our ambitions – you could be the candidate we’re looking for!

Whether it’s a particular role you’ve spotted, or maybe you’d like to learn more about working in Blackpool – we’d love to meet you and answer any questions you may have. Join us at our informal virtual recruitment event and learn more. We look forward to seeing you there.

Blackpool Families Rock! Want to know more?…

Our recruitment event aims to give you a real insight into what it is really like to work for one of the UK’s most ambitious children’s social care teams.

Our Director of Children’s Services and Principal Social Worker will share how our post-Covid ways of working and benefits have developed so that your health and wellbeing are at the forefront.
