Bridgend County Borough Council offers a great opportunity for you to further your social care career. We want the best social workers to join us - this is what our children and families deserve.

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. Join us and you will work in a rewarding environment where staff are valued.

We are looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Social Worker to join the Information, Advice & Assistance (IAA) Team that sits within the MASH (Multi-agency Safeguarding Hub) who is as committed as we are in working towards and achieving positive outcomes for children and families. The MASH work is close collaboration with partner agencies such as South Wales Police and Health to support families in line with the Social Services & Well Being (Wales) Act 2014, along with safeguarding our most vulnerable children.

We encourage applications from both experienced Social Workers and newly qualified. In return you will receive a robust induction, regular supervision, additional support and mentoring where required. Our Social Work practice model of Signs of Safety is fully implemented within our IAA Service, as such you will receive training and support in this model.

Additionally, you will be able to further your career with both development and promotional opportunities.
