Knowsley Council

Knowsley is home to the award-winning Knowsley Council, employing over 2,000 people, supporting over 160,000 residents and delivering over 700 services.

Knowsley Council is The Municipal Journal’s Local Authority of the Year 2024 winner as well as the Local Government Chronicle’s winner of the Public / Private Partnership 2024 Award for it’s partnership with the Shakespeare North Trust to deliver the Shakespeare North Playhouse.

Employees can access a range of benefits including competitive salaries, generous annual leave entitlements, access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, as well as hybrid working for many roles, free car parking, a vast array of learning and development opportunities and an employee assistance programme.

The borough of Knowsley is located between the two thriving cities of Liverpool and Manchester. Knowsley is well located, fantastically connected and yet still beautifully green.

Knowsley has benefited from major investment over the last few years which includes the construction of the award-winning Shakespeare North Playhouse in Prescot and a new retail development in Kirkby. Knowsley also has a burgeoning food and drink offer in many of the town centres. Development plans for all of the town centres – Halewood, Huyton, Kirkby and Prescot - are well-advanced and progressing.

Knowsley has been highlighted as a first-time buyer hotspot, as well as offering a range of high-quality and affordable homes to suit all budgets, styles and locations, thanks to the ambitious house building programme that is progressing across the Borough.

Knowsley is a great place to live, work or visit.
