Come to Merton and make a difference.

Social Care is special here

Come and work in a compassionate, motivated and supportive working environment at Merton Council, where staff wellbeing and continuous professional development as well as high quality practice are valued. You will be supported by experienced colleagues and management within a team that encourages learning, reflective practice, while making a meaningful difference in the lives of residents in the community.

Our social workers do important jobs, and we are focused on looking after you so you can look after others.

Our people stay because we have a great culture, and staff tell us their colleagues are the best thing about working here.

You will work in a great team with knowledgeable, supportive managers and will give you lots of recognition and reward.

You will support people to live well in the London Borough of Merton, to maintain their independence, stay at home and improve their safety and quality of life.

Merton Council is focused on prevention, and we work closely with our partners to enable people to live fulfilling and meaningful lives in their homes for longer.

This could be through connecting people socially in their communities, adding adjustments such as handrails or receiving care at home.

You are empowered to help people make the best decisions about their care.

Everyone deserves to live with dignity, and your invaluable role will change people's lives for the better every day.

We are here to help people live meaningful lives in Merton.
