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. About the job Cardiff Safeguarding and Children looked after teams are now based in 3 localities across the city at St Mellons in the East, Fairwater in the North and Cardiff Bay in the South enabling staff to be based within the communities that they serve.

As the Principal Social Worker you will have the opportunity to develop the practice of others within the team through joint working and supervision whilst also leading by example as case-holder for those children with more complex needs who require the expertise of an experienced and skilled practitioner.

Cornwall isn't just a fantastic place to live - it's an inspiring place to grow your social work career. Fresh from our 'Good with Outstanding features' Ofsted judgement (July 2024), we're a service on the rise: ambitious, bold and focused on delivering real impact for children and families. Our transformed Family Help model brings together the best of Early Help and Child in Need practice, codesigned with practitioners to deliver more effective, truly child centred support. We're investing where it counts: our specialist Parent Assess team delivers high quality inhouse assessments, and every Family Help Team is strengthened by an Integrated Family Domestic Abuse Support Advisor and dedicated clinical psychology input, ensuring a confident response to domestic abuse and complex needs. We champion meaningful family participation through Family Group Conferencing, Family Led Meetings and consistent use of genograms and ecomaps. Families also benefit from our award winning Family Information Service, a strengthened parenting offer and one of the best care leaver services in the country. Ofsted recognised the strength of our culture and approach: "Senior leaders and politicians are relentless in their drive to continue to improve the lives of Cornwall's children and families Staff's care, commitment and child focused approach shine through." - Ofsted, July 2024 Cornwall offers forward thinking social work in a place where wellbeing comes first. With stunning coastlines, strong communities and a culture that values balance and professional pride, this is a service where practitioners thrive - and where your leadership will shape the future of children's services.

Our Principal Social Worker role changes that. This is a specialist practice leadership position, paid at Team Manager level, designed for experienced practitioners who want to influence practice quality while staying close to children, families and frontline work. As a Principal Social Worker, you will hold a small caseload of direct work, deputise for your Team Manager, and play a key role in developing the skills, confidence and professional curiosity of your team.

We value continuous learning and recognise its impact on outcomes - with progression and rewards that reflect your contribution.
