Cardiff are seeking to build upon the success of recruiting social workers by ensuring that we have the very best principal social workers to coach and support our workers, enabling them to grow and develop. In pursuit of this we have increased the number of principal social workers are seeking to recruit permanent workers with a passion and drive to delivery only the 'very best' service to our children and their families and carers. The proverb ' it takes a village to raise a child ' is as relevant to a major city such as Cardiff as it is anywhere - the challenge is to identify, engage and work collaboratively with our communities to achieve this. Cardiff's locality model allows social workers and support staff to work within the local communities and get to know the specific needs of the communities we support. Working in partnership with other statutory and non-statutory agencies and the 3rd sector we provide the right level of assistance to our families at the right time, empowering families to reach out to these support networks in order to reduce the long term needs of individuals and the communities they live in. Cardiff as the capital of Wales offers not only the experience of working in a vibrant, and successful city but also offers easy access to the fabulous South Wales region's coastline and countryside with worldwide standing. Whether you choose to live in the city or within commuting distance, you have plenty of choice in accommodation, with excellent transport routes. For those practitioners seeking to broaden their experience working with Children and their families, Cardiff has so much to offer, through exciting opportunities to develop practice knowledge in areas that can only be found in the capital city, working with children and families from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Cardiff is a forward thinking organisation that is looking at remote and innovative ways of working with flexibility to work at home, in the office and supporting safe face-to-face contact with families and children. Cardiff Children's services are leaders in practice and have been chosen as the location for key pilot projects including Family Drug and Alcohol Courts. We are forward thinking and seeking to embrace new models of working to ensure success in supporting children and young people experiencing mental health crisis and children involved with criminal exploitation. Our new ways of working have led us to develop multi-disciplinary teams. Cardiff supports the learning and development of individuals through leadership and management development opportunities whilst actively involving staff in the auditing and review of proactive learning that enables continuous development of the service and individuals within a nurturing and supportive culture. There is a key focus on shifting the balance of care ensuring that only those children for whom risks cannot be mitigated are placed outside their family network. This is being achieved through clear analysis of the presenting issues and seeking to tailor support to meet the needs of family which might include daily support in the home and or the use of respite. Cardiff are committed to working with families through statutory intervention and sharing parental responsibility only where the risks dictate and not as a result of access to resources/services.

What We Are Looking For From You You will have an offer of direct access to a senior manager as mentor, if required. You will form a critical key part of the locality management team: shaping its practice and development alongside the other PSWs, Team Managers and your Operational Manager. Within the team you will take the role of Practice Leader, working with the Team Manager, supporting and encouraging the culture within the services as well as leading, teaching and modelling the Signs of Safety approach. You will work alongside the Team Manager to help in managing the performance and development of Social Workers as well as contributing to the development and maintenance of effective systems to ensure quality services to children in need and their families. The successful candidates must have robust safeguarding experience and experience of working with Children looked after and be confident with court proceedings. As a child protection social worker, you must be flexible and able to work under pressure. Due to the nature of the role candidates must have front line post qualifying experience in child protection services.
