About the Role

We are seeking a qualified Social Worker to join our Placements Team in the Vale of Glamorgan.

  • Strong analytical skills for collating information and preparing reports.
  • A deep understanding of the needs of vulnerable children.
  • Knowledge of child development principles.
  • Familiarity with various methods for engaging with children and young people.
  • A Social Work qualification and registration with Social Care Wales.

This team offers foster carers 24/7 professional fostering support. The support line is staffed exclusively by fostering professionals who are available to discuss situations, provide advice, and offer support over the phone. A member of this team will be required to participate in the out-of-hours support system, which typically involves one overnight commitment per week and less than one full weekend per month. An allowance is provided in addition to core wages for this commitment.
