SOCIAL WORKER Grade 7 - Newly & recently qualified Social Workers IN: Localities and Child Health & Disability (CHAD) Join us as a Social Work Assistant after you have finished your final placement whilst you wait for your qualification to come through, why wait, apply now! About the Service We have developed an innovative program which will provide you with a mentor (outside of your team of work) who will support you to identify, develop and meet your ongoing training needs and ensure that you are ready to progress to the next step- which is the university-based consolidation course. Cardiff is the only local authority in South Wales to provide independent practice assessors to assist your progression through this, and to ensure that you receive the support you need to successfully complete this stage of your social work career. We have a comprehensive training program which will allow you to access all of the mandatory training along with regular support groups to ensure you have contact with other newly qualified workers! Cardiff offers the opportunity to grow and develop through high quality training, regular and effective supervision, and a wide variety of opportunities to pursue career development, for example just this year we have 10 internal employee’s progress to a higher position within our Social Work teams. 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 which in turn offers social workers the opportunity to develop expertise and to lead practice within Wales. Cardiff is also the first city in the UK to be declared as a UNICEF Child Friendly City that places the rights of children and young people at the head of our policies and strategies. Yng Nghaerdydd rydym wedi datblygu rhaglen arloesol a fydd yn rhoi mentor i chi (y tu allan i'ch tîm gwaith) a fydd yn eich helpu i adnabod, datblygu a bodloni eich anghenion hyfforddiant parhaus a sicrhau eich bod yn barod i symud ymlaen i'r cam nesaf, sef y cwrs atgyfnerthu yn y brifysgol. Caerdydd yw'r unig awdurdod lleol yn Ne Cymru i ddarparu aseswyr ymarfer annibynnol i'ch helpu gyda’ch dilyniant drwy hyn, a sicrhau eich bod yn cael y cymorth sydd ei angen arnoch i gwblhau'r cam hwn o'ch gyrfa gwaith cymdeithasol yn llwyddiannus.

Mae Caerdydd yn elwa o fod yn brifddinas Cymru ac yn ddinas sy'n tyfu gyda phoblogaeth amrywiol. Mae plant Caerdydd angen gweithwyr cymdeithasol sy'n gallu ymateb i'r amrywiaeth o anghenion a phrofiadau sydd yn ei dro yn rhoi cyfle i weithwyr cymdeithasol ddatblygu arbenigedd ac i arwain ymarfer yng Nghymru. Ar ben hynny, Caerdydd hefyd yw’r ddinas gyntaf yn y DU i ddod yn Ddinas sy’n Dda i Blant UNICEF, sy'n rhoi hawliau plant a phobl ifanc wrth wraidd ein polisïau a'n strategaethau.
