The award-winning Knowsley Council offers a range of employee benefits and career opportunities that is making it the employer of choice for many.
Named The Municipal Journal’s Local Authority of the Year and winner of the Local Government Chronicle’s Public / Private Partnership Award earlier this year, the Council welcomes new employees into the organisation with an informative and engaging induction programme – called the Knowsley Better Together Journey.
New employees are invited to share their feedback of working for the Council both following the induction and once they have been established in their roles for over six months. Feedback has included:-
‘‘From the minute we walked into the building we were made to feel welcome, nurtured and included. I have never felt so welcomed into an organisation.”
“The Council has a proven track record of making clear and visible positive changes to the community it serves.”
“The best part about working for Knowsley Council as a young employee is the great network of help and assistance that is always available when you start in a new role.”
“There are lots of opportunities to progress and development opportunities that the council are willing to support and fund.”
“I work alongside experienced colleagues who have a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the service we provide. It gives me a great opportunity to continue learning and developing.”
“Flexible working conditions, hybrid working along with flexi-time is great so you can have a good work-life balance.”
“The organisation embraces diversity.”
“The Council offers various initiatives to support physical and mental health.”
“I’ve enjoyed the induction – I’ve never had one like it and it’s a real positive experience.”
“I am really enjoying working here and it’s very family-friendly.”
You can also hear the experiences of a number of employees, including those who came through the Graduate route and have now secured full-time employment in their chosen field through to others who have worked at the Council for over 20 years here.
Cllr Jayne Lonergan, Cabinet Member for Resources, said “It’s great to hear the feedback of our new employees. As well as attracting high-calibre candidates, its essential that we also retain them.
“We offer an extensive range of benefits including a friendly, welcoming and inclusive working environment with hybrid working in many roles, competitive salaries, generous annual leave entitlements and access to the local government pension scheme through to free car parking, staff discounts, employee networks and health and wellbeing support.
“Plus we have great learning and development offer for our employees which has enabled many of our employees to progress within the Council.
