Liverpool City Region Combined Authority
Bringing together Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens and Wirral to provide strategic governance and support economic growth. 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 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 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. 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.
