Job description

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!

We have redesigned our services to follow the child’s journey and created locality teams that enable workers to link closely with communities and local services. There is a healthy culture of learning, support, and family across our amazing social work teams.

The teams work from a strengths-based (Signs of Safety) approach to meet the needs of young people and their families. We have a diverse variety of casework, individual dedicated support, and regular senior management oversight alongside progression opportunities for the successful candidates.

It is our belief that outcomes for children are best when they are supported to grow and achieve within their own families. This belief has driven the ‘Think Family’ approach which looks at the family as a whole and coordinates support across public services, tailored to each family’s needs and strengths.

If you are interested in being part of Cardiff's effort to be one of the most vibrant and successful cities in the UK, putting children first, with the ambition to lead the way in developing practice in Wales, we would be delighted to hear from you.
