  • Work effectively with partner organisations, stakeholders, and people who use our service, maintaining the required independence as part of proceedings.
Requirements
  • A recognised social work qualification and registration with Social Care Wales.
  • Knowledge and experience of safeguarding children and young people within a statutory sector.
  • Strong IT skills and excellent verbal and written communication skills.
What We Offer
  • A unique opportunity to work with Cafcass Cymru, shaping and influencing the lives of children and their families in Wales.
  • A dynamic and inclusive work environment, committed to diversity and equality.
  • Learning and development opportunities tailored to your role.
