Working With Us

We’re looking for people with the passion to deliver on our vision and help us to create a truly global and competitive city region which works for everyone.

Devolution brings real powers to make policy and investment decisions that suit our own needs.

We are looking for talented individuals to help deliver an inclusive, globally competitive city region, working to ensure policy and investment decisions have a real impact for individuals and communities.

We have a historic opportunity right now, with our city region growing faster than any other combined authority area, huge investment in infrastructure, and an unrivalled quality of life, with excellent cultural and leisure opportunities and affordable living costs.

Yet, like all post-industrial cities, we need to work hard to ensure the benefits of growth reach everyone who lives and works here.

We have established a Strategic Investment Fund to deliver our policy priorities, through our emerging Local Industrial Strategy, Spatial Development Strategy, Housing Strategy and Mayoral Transport Plan.

We will invest more than £500m in the next four years, in projects which create social value and support our inclusive economy agenda, across transport, housing, skills and adult education, the social economy, business growth, innovation, land and property.

We are seeking candidates with specialist skills in policy development, commissioning, investment, research and evaluation, and data science, across a number of disciplines and experience levels.

But most importantly, we want to hear from you if you are self-starting, collaborative and ambitious, have fresh ideas, and are excited by the opportunity to build a better future for the people of the Liverpool City Region.

Where else could you be working on projects as diverse as a £460 million investment to introduce a brand new fleet of state-of-the-art trains, a new approach to tackling homelessness, or an ambitious plan to harness the tidal power of the River Mersey and Liverpool Bay to create plentiful, predictable, renewable electricity?

If you think that sounds exciting, you’re right, and we want to hear from you.

A place to work

We want Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (CA) to be a great place to work. A place where your knowledge, skills and talents are appreciated, nurtured and developed.

Through our devolution deal we have a fantastic opportunity to bring about positive change, boost our economy and provide services that really matter to people in our region.

This is also your chance to put all your skills and expertise into action.

We’ve already achieved a lot including £400 million investment committed to create 9,000 jobs and 5,500 apprentices; secured £172 million for sustainable transport; created the Strategic Investment Fund which will provide an additional £500m in funding for the City Region over the next five years; and invested £30 million in 40 projects to enhance or build new learning facilities.

We have many more schemes underway and in the pipeline, from establishing ultra-fast digital connectivity for the whole city region, our £460 million new, state-of-the-art trains arriving from 2020 and a new phase of work to develop our truly transformational Mersey Tidal Power scheme.

We can only deliver for the people we serve if everyone who works at the Combined Authority is able to make a full contribution. That’s why we are 100% committed to investing in in our staff so that we are all challenged and inspired, supported and encouraged and fully informed and engaged in our shared endeavour for a fairer, more prosperous Liverpool City Region

Everyone who works at the CA has an important part to play in our success.

Values & Behaviours

Our values and behaviours are at the heart of everything we do.

We’re a proud bunch, and our values keep us focussed, honest, inventive and committed to achieving our goals.

A commitment culture is being developed within our organisation to help us achieve our aims and drive our delivery agenda.

We are building on what already makes us great, such as our ability to deliver with passion, determination and positivity, while looking to break down barriers and strive for even greater success.

Our three behaviours say a lot about us and how we treat each other and the people we work with:

Putting the Liverpool City Region First

We are here to provide the best services for the people of our city region – our families, friends and communities. We are in a privileged position to be able to make a real difference to their lives.

Respect

The CA is brimming with a wide range of skills and talent and it’s important that we treat each other with respect and support each other. The same applies to the external people that we work with as we are all ambassadors.

Action Focus

We have a fantastic opportunity to do things differently and show people what we are made of. All eyes are on us. It’s time to prove ourselves, turn ideas and ambitions into reality and really transform our city region for the benefit of all.

Health & Wellbeing

As a caring employer, we are committed to supporting you at all times.

We recognise the need for a healthy work-life balance and offer a range of benefits, including a flexi-time system, the right to request flexible working if you have caring responsibilities, and salary sacrifice schemes, including a Bike2Work programme.

Friends, family, colleagues and your manager can offer invaluable help and support, but sometimes you need someone impartial to talk to, who can give you independent, professional help and information.

We’re positive about mental health and want everyone to know they can talk about any problems they may have openly and in confidence, without fear of being judged, persecuted or ignored.

We have a range of support in place. Our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) can provide comprehensive information on a whole range of matters, as well as confidential counselling. You can talk to the EAP about anything that’s troubling you, whether it’s financial difficulties, relationships, bereavement, serious illness, separation, anxiety or depression. It’s important to talk so we can give you the support you need.
