Keyworker - 12 month maternity cover (with the potential to be made permanent)
The Wirral Autism &amp; Learning disabilities Keyworker (WALK) team is excited to announce that we have a new Keyworker post available to expand our current small team. The successful applicant will be employed in the Family Help Department of Wirral Council and funded by NHS England. Our team seeks to improve outcomes and life experiences for those aged 0-25 with Learning Disabilities and/or Autism and we were established in September 2022.
The NHS Long Term Plan outlines the commitment for all children and young people with a learning disability, autism, or both with the most complex needs to have a designated keyworker.
The WALK team aims to provide a new way of multi-agency working. Our work is targeted specifically to support individuals (0-25 years old, inclusive) who are diagnosed with autism and/or learning disabilities to reduce their risk of requiring inpatient mental health support, prolonged stays in a mental health hospital, or placement breakdown. This may include working with individuals who face multiple needs and vulnerabilities such as being a ‘looked after’ or adopted, are in transition between services, or are at risk of youth offending.
About the Role
This role will include working holistically and closely with young people with autism and/or learning disabilities and their families, as well as professionals from across the system. The WALK team is guided by the Dynamic Support Database (DSD) function which is held and maintained by our team. The DSD facilitates an effective multi-disciplinary/multi-agency team around the child working to address risks and meet needs.
There will be a caseload to manage in terms of supporting other professionals to collaborate and undertake agreed actions in a timely fashion, supported by your fellow keyworkers and the WALK Team Leader. Key workers will also help to organise and support Community (Education) Treatment Reviews when necessary for their cases.
About the Candidate
The successful candidate will be required to support individuals transitioning from children to adult services, ensuring their needs are still able to be met within their local community and facilitating good links during and after this transition. Specific experience of mental health support when working with children and/or adults is a highly desirable attribute for this role, and/or lived experience. Confidence in using digital platforms such as Microsoft Office and recording systems (such as Liquid Logic) is desirable, although training on Local Authority specific systems will be provided.

Lead with Purpose. Shape Services. Change Lives.
This is a defining moment for Sefton as we recruit an inspirational leader to help us move from a strong foundation towards outstanding services. Following a recent ‘Good’ rating from the Care Quality Commission, Sefton is recognised as one of the top-performing Adult Social Care services in the Northwest. Inspectors praised our compassionate staff, strong values, and innovative practice model. But we’re ambitious to do more - especially around co-production, prevention, and reducing inequalities. 
We’re now seeking an Assistant Director to lead our adult social care function - driving integration, innovation, and improvement across a vibrant and complex borough. This is a high-impact leadership role, overseeing the engine room of our operational delivery. You’ll lead all frontline adult social care services, our client and business support function, and manage a broad portfolio including early intervention, safeguarding and learning disabilities. 
A qualified social worker with senior leadership experience, you’ll have a deep understanding of adult social care systems. You’ll be comfortable operating across organisational boundaries, from integrated health partnerships to regional networks. You’ll work closely with the Cheshire and Merseyside ICB and will benefit from strong local relationships and a committed voluntary sector. 
Like other local authorities across the country, we’re experiencing an increase in demand and complexity. We need someone who can lead with both resilience and creativity - holding up our high standards while empowering people to do their best work. We're looking for someone who is forward thinking and proactive, without compromising on day-to-day practice standards. &nbsp;
Sefton is a vibrant, diverse borough with a strong sense of community and a unique socio-economic geography. Our culture is positive and&nbsp; inclusive, with a working environment that supports people to achieve. This role offers a real breadth of experience and the opportunity to develop yourself as a leader. You’ll join a stable and ambitious leadership team, with strong political backing and a genuine appetite for transformation. 
If you want to shape the future of health and social care in a place where your impact will be visible and valued, this is your moment.
