An experienced and qualified Adult Social Worker is required to join a busy Communities Team in Cardiff. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference by supporting adults to live as independently, safely and fulfillingly as possible within their own communities.

You will manage a varied caseload involving assessment, care planning, review and safeguarding. Working in a strengths-based and person-centred way, you will identify individual needs, promote independence and coordinate effective support with adults, their families, carers and partner agencies. You will work collaboratively with health professionals, housing services, care providers and voluntary organisations to achieve positive outcomes.

The role will include completing proportionate assessments, arranging and reviewing care and support services, responding to changes in circumstances and ensuring that decisions are properly recorded. You will contribute to safeguarding enquiries, risk management and multi-disciplinary meetings, while maintaining a clear focus on choice, wellbeing, equality and the least restrictive options available.

You will need excellent communication, assessment and analytical skills, as well as the ability to manage competing priorities and work confidently both independently and as part of a team. A professional, compassionate and solution-focused approach is essential. You must be able to produce high-quality records and reports, participate in duty and urgent response arrangements where required, and travel to meet people in a range of community settings.

This role offers the chance to contribute to a supportive service committed to continuous improvement, professional development and positive outcomes for adults and their carers.
