Children's SW - CHAD Team - Cardiff
An experienced Children’s Social Worker is required to join a specialist team supporting children and young people with complex needs, disabilities and health-related challenges. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference by helping children achieve positive outcomes, promoting their wellbeing and ensuring their voices remain central to all decisions.
You will undertake assessments, develop and review care and support plans, and coordinate effective interventions with children, families and partner agencies. The role will involve safeguarding children, managing a caseload, preparing clear reports and contributing to statutory processes, including child protection, looked-after children and court work where required.
Working collaboratively with families, education, health, community services and other professionals, you will identify strengths, address risks and ensure appropriate support is provided. You will be expected to build trusting relationships, communicate sensitively and advocate for children’s needs, wishes and rights. The role may also include supporting transitions into adulthood and helping families access relevant services and resources.
Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered to practise in the UK. You should have recent experience of working with children and families, including the assessment and management of safeguarding concerns. Experience of supporting children with disabilities, complex health needs or additional needs would be highly beneficial.
You will need strong written and verbal communication skills, sound professional judgement and the ability to work effectively under pressure. A commitment to anti-discriminatory practice, evidence-based decision-making and continuous professional development is essential. You must be organised, resilient and able to work independently while contributing positively to a multidisciplinary team.
The successful applicant will receive appropriate supervision and support, alongside opportunities to develop their practice within a specialist children’s service. A current driving licence and the ability to travel between appointments may be required.
