Why Join the Academy?
As part of the Academy, you'll be immersed in a vibrant, collaborative learning environment. You'll work within a specialist Pod alongside a Practice Lead, Senior Social Worker, Newly Qualified Social Workers (NQSWs), and Family Support Workers—sharing knowledge, supporting development, and delivering high-quality services to children and families.
Our Academy includes five specialist Pods:
* Child in Need of Care and Support

* Integrated Safeguarding Hub
This cross-pod collaboration enriches your practice and broadens your perspective, helping you develop innovative, child-centred solutions.
What Makes Us Different?
We believe in keeping social work focused on what matters most—direct work with children and families. That's why we minimise paperwork and maximise support, reflection, and creativity.
You'll also enjoy:
* Beautiful views of Swansea Bay from your office
* Regular supervision and mentoring from experienced Practice Leads
* A reflective team culture with peer learning and workshops
* Opportunities for professional growth in a forward-thinking service
* A workplace where your voice is heard, and your impact is valued
What We're Looking For
We're seeking someone who is:
* A qualified and registered social worker with substantial post-qualifying experience
* Has completed or is working towards the Consolidation Programme for Experienced Practitioners (CPEL)
* Confident in managing complex cases and child protection processes
* Committed to reflective practice and continuous learning
* Passionate about working collaboratively and creatively with children and families
Ready to Make a Difference?
If you're ready to bring your experience, compassion, and creativity to a team that values your contribution, we'd love to hear from you.
