Cardiff benefits from being the capital of Wales and is a growing city with a diverse population. The children of Cardiff need social workers who can respond to the diversity of needs and experiences, offering social workers the opportunity to develop expertise and lead practice within Wales.
Cardiff offers the opportunity to grow and develop through high-quality training, regular and effective supervision, and a wide variety of career development opportunities. For example, this year we have seen 10 internal employees progress to higher positions within our Social Work teams.
We have reorganised our services to follow the child's journey and created locality teams that enable workers to connect closely with communities and local services. There is a healthy culture of learning, support, and family across our dedicated social work teams.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a service that puts the individual at the heart of our work. The teams work from a strengths-based (Signs of Safety) approach to meet the needs of young people and their families. We offer a diverse casework portfolio, dedicated support, and regular senior management oversight, alongside progression opportunities for successful candidates.
Cardiff is one of the fastest-growing cities in Britain and is the first city in the UK to be declared a UNICEF Child Friendly City, which prioritizes the rights of children and young people in our policies and strategies. Parents have the most significant influence on children and their future lives. We believe that outcomes for children are best when they are supported to grow and succeed within their families. This belief underpins our 'Think Family' approach, which considers the family as a whole and coordinates support across public services, tailored to each family's needs and strengths. If you are interested in being part of Cardiff's journey to becoming one of the most vibrant and successful cities in the UK that puts children first, with the ambition to lead practice development in Wales, we would be excited to hear from you.
