Liverpool Seafarers Centre awarded Best Places to Work
We are delighted to share some fantastic news - Liverpool Seafarers Centre has officially been accredited as a Great Place to Work Certified™ organisation!
Every year, our dedicated team of chaplains, staff, and volunteers support over 21,500 international mariners arriving on Merseyside and along the Manchester Ship Canal. Whether conducting over 2,200 onboard ship visits, covering 65,000+ miles of port outreach, providing digital connections, or hosting crews in our lounge, our mission has always been to serve as the "human heart" of Merseyside maritime.
Now, an independent assessment by Great Place To Work®, the global authority on workplace culture, has confirmed that our team feels that same care and dedication behind the scenes!
Backed by Our Team
The Certification™ is based entirely on anonymous, validated feedback collected from LSC staff. Using their rigorous For All™ data methodology, Great Place To Work® verified that the vast majority of our team consistently experiences a positive, supportive, and trust-filled environment at LSC.

"We are so proud to be Great Place To Work Certified! Our team works hard to care for visiting crews and this achievement as a benchmark to further enhance our employee experience. Thank you to our team whose honest support to enabled us to earn this recognition."

What This Means for Our Seafarers & Supporters
Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work® UK, congratulated our centre on the achievement:
"We know that prioritising the employee experience leads to building trust among employees, fostering a remarkable workplace culture, and ultimately achieving exceptional business outcomes. Congratulations!"
For us, a healthy, supported, and motivated team translates directly into better care for the mariners who step foot in our port. When our staff feel valued, inspired, and listened to, they can provide the very best "home away from home" experience for visiting crews—from fresh provisions and transportation to a friendly chat over a cup of tea.
Thank you to our entire LSC supporters for making our centre a truly exceptional place to work and serve!
