Job search

We are seeking a committed and qualified Social Worker to join an Assessment team, supporting children, adults and families to achieve positive outcomes. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference by completing high-quality assessments, identifying strengths and needs, and helping people access the right support at the right time.

You will manage a varied caseload and undertake proportionate, person-centred assessments in line with relevant legislation, policies and professional standards. Your responsibilities will include developing, reviewing and monitoring care and support plans; assessing risk; responding to safeguarding concerns; and coordinating services with individuals, families, carers and partner agencies.

Working collaboratively with health professionals, education services, housing providers, voluntary organisations and other colleagues, you will contribute to effective multidisciplinary planning. You will advocate for people’s rights and wishes, promote independence and wellbeing, and ensure that decisions are evidence-based, lawful and clearly recorded. The role may involve visits across the county, so the ability to travel as required is essential.

You will hold a recognised Social Work qualification and current registration with Social Care Wales.

Newly qualified social workers with suitable placement experience may also be considered, subject to the requirements of the role.

We are looking for someone who communicates clearly, builds trusting professional relationships and can work confidently with people from diverse backgrounds. You should be organised, resilient and able to prioritise competing demands while maintaining accurate records and a strong focus on quality. A commitment to equality, inclusion, continuous learning and strengths-based practice is essential.

In return, you will receive professional support, regular supervision and opportunities to develop your skills within a welcoming and collaborative service. If you are passionate about enabling people to live safely, independently and with dignity, we would be pleased to hear from you.

An exciting opportunity is available for a qualified Social Worker to join a busy Assessment Team supporting children, adults and families to achieve positive outcomes. You will work alongside experienced professionals in a collaborative environment, undertaking high-quality assessments and responding to referrals in line with statutory duties, safeguarding procedures and relevant legislation.

The role will involve assessing individual needs, identifying risks and strengths, and developing proportionate plans that promote independence, wellbeing and safety. You will manage a varied caseload, complete reviews, maintain accurate and timely records, and ensure that decisions are clearly evidenced. You will also contribute to safeguarding enquiries, attend meetings and case conferences, and coordinate support with colleagues from health, education, housing, third-sector and other partner agencies.

We are looking for someone who can build effective relationships with individuals, families and professionals, including in complex or challenging circumstances.
