We are currently recruiting for a Senior Social Worker who will be based within our Safeguarding Locality Teams. Our Locality Teams are currently based within three community hubs around the county borough. However, as part of recent restructure plans a fourth safeguarding hub is being created.

We also have teams who offer expertise in relation to children with disabilities, care experienced children and young people aged 16 and over who are entitled to leaving care services.

We would love to hear from experienced Social work practitioners who are registered with Social Care Wales, have at least 3 years experience and who are keen to progress in their social work career. The successful candidate will receive a robust induction, regular supervision, additional support and mentoring if required and will have opportunities for further career development.

In 2023 Children’s Social Care launched the ‘Signs of Safety’ social work model which underpins all of our practice in Bridgend County Borough Children’s Services. All new staff will be supported to them to develop their practice in line with the principles of the model.

We are a reflective organisation that continuously builds on its strengths and is committed to the principle that the most effective way of improving outcomes for all children, young people and families is through the provision of accessible, universal services. Protecting children, young people and adults deemed to be at risk is considered to be the core responsibility of all council employees.

Working in a rewarding and educational environment where staff feel valued is what you can expect with Bridgend County Borough Council as your employer.

In addition to a competitive salary the post also attracts a Market Supplement of £5,000 and, where appropriate, a relocation package of up to £8,000.
