You will join a team that is committed to encouraging and enabling supported individuals to be independent and enjoy community life, where interactions between supported individuals and staff are warm and positive with a focus on strength-based working, Positive Behaviour Support and the achievement of excellent personal outcomes.


As a Senior Support Worker for the service, you will have access to a comprehensive range of resources and support to continue your professional development and to help you become the best Senior Support Worker you can be.

You will have a commitment to working in a strength-based way, using Positive Behaviour Support to enable supported individuals to achieve what matters to them.


You will have an understanding of the regulatory requirements that govern the delivery of a registered Supported Living service, a dedication to working in an outcome-focussed way and a keen interest in your on-going professional development and that of the staff you will supervise, striving for excellence.

You will be committed to working in a way that promotes equality and inclusion for supported individuals and staff.


A Diploma in Leadership in Health & Social Care and registration with Social Care Wales are essential for this role.


What We Are Looking For From You

We take the welfare of all of our staff seriously and we strive to deliver positive working arrangements that support our amazing workforce to feel respected and valued.

Here's some examples of how we try to achieve this:

  • A generous annual leave entitlement starting at 28 days per year to a maximum of 33 days per year after 5 years, with the option to purchase additional annual leave to a maximum of 10 days.
  • Hybrid working supporting you to flexibly deliver your role whether on visits to the schemes, from an office or your home.
  • Access to the Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan Pension Fund which is part of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS), offering a reputable, secure and flexible pension plan for peace of mind.
  • Excellent training and development opportunities provided by a knowledgeable and dedicated, social care training team.
  • Support provided by a senior management team that recognises achievements and celebrates success.
