We are currently looking for a highly motivated dynamic individual to join the Torfaen Adult Mental Health Social Work Team within Adult Services. The post is 37 hours. Adult Services is a multi‑disciplinary division that works together with partner agencies to meet the social care needs of adults who experience mental distress within Torfaen.
