We are looking for senior social workers/practitioner managers who can mentor and support less experienced staff and work
directly with families. This is a great opportunity for an experienced worker to take the next step into mentoring/supervision, or for
those with experience of this to make a real difference to workers and families.
Emotional wellbeing and care for our staff is important to us in the Vale and as a result, we have recently expanded these teams but
are finding it difficult to recruit the right staff. We are aiming to deliver best practice to children and families and offer job
satisfaction to workers. We now need to recruit to these posts to develop stability and enable staff to maintain a work life balance.
These teams work with families on a long term plan, looking to utilise all parts of their networks to minimise risk to children and
build resilience. They are involved in all aspects of work, including planning and review for children receiving care and support as
well as those with a child protection plan, or until court proceedings conclude. Work in this team is about helping people work out
what matters to them and then helping them achieve their goals. Workers here are able to be kind, consistent and focussed in their
work with children, young people and families.
We are very happy to talk to any candidates that have 2 years experience in Children and Families social work in the UK, including
experience of court work. Informal conversations are welcome to explain more about us and the roles, as are formal applications.
Candidates do need to be registered as Social Workers with Social Care Wales, and able to travel to the Vale (in South Wales, just
West of Cardiff and on the M4) to meet with the teams and with families. We are flexible about working from home, and hours
worked for the right candidates.
