Cardiff Council and the Vale of Glamorgan Council are working together to provide an innovative new Adolescent Resource Centre (ARC) / Edge of Care Service for 11-17 year olds. Taking a strength-based approach, our aim is to work co-productively with families to improve relationships and enable young people to remain living within their family home.

The ARC has been delivering services to young people who require intensive interventions and access to therapeutic interventions across Cardiff for the last three years. Due to its success and increased regional funding, the Service is expanding to become a Regional Edge of Care Service, operating across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan.

As part of this Service, you will work within Cardiff’s experienced team providing flexible and responsive care packages including respite, intervention, outreach, and family support.

You will work with young people across Cardiff at their homes and at our centres during times of need, delivering positive outcomes. You will provide structured, evidence-based interventions to help families develop problem-solving skills, resilience, and achieve positive change. The team will respond rapidly to children and families in crisis, helping them address and overcome difficulties that threaten family stability and prevent escalation.

As a Support Worker, you should have experience working with adolescents who present challenging behaviour, experience working with carers, and be able to work as part of a wider team. Flexibility to work evenings and weekends is required.

Driving license and full use of a car are essential. An enhanced Child and Adult DBS check is also required.
