We are St Helens Borough Council
Located in the heart of the Northwest close to Liverpool, Manchester and Lancashire, St Helens is a modernising Council which is passionate and ambitious for the children and families we support, our communities and our workforce. As part of our transformation journey, we continue to build on our progress and put children firmly at the centre of our care. We can only do this because of our highly valued, skilled, and supported workforce.

You will be working in a customer-focused environment and will provide advice and assistance to vulnerable householders across all tenures in relation to suitable and cost effective housing adaptations. Commitment to accessing all work related training is essential.
