We have a great opportunity for you to further your social care career and ensure we continue to deliver the best services for our children and families.
Continuously building on our strengths we are committed to the principle that the most effective way of improving outcomes for all children, young people and families is through the provision of accessible, universal services. Join us and you will work in a rewarding environment where staff are valued.
In 2018 we launched our MASH (Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub) in Bridgend with key partners which incorporates the requirements of the Social Services & Wellbeing (Wales) Act 2014 along with safeguarding our most vulnerable children and adults.
Our MASH is the single point of contact for all professionals and citizens to raise safeguarding concerns. The MASH co-locates key partners (either physically or virtually) in order to improve the initial response to all referrals including safeguarding concerns in relation to children and vulnerable adults. Our Information, Advice and Assistance team is located in the MASH and integral to the model.
You will receive a robust induction, regular supervision, training and mentoring where required. Additionally, you will be able to further your career with both development and promotional opportunities.
In Bridgend we use the Signs of Safety practice model and full training will be provided to the successful applicant.
The ability to greet customers through the medium of Welsh is a requirement for this post.
Protecting children, young people or adults at risk is a core responsibility of all council employees.

A vetting check by South Wales Police is a requirement for this post.
A valid driving licence is requirement for this post.
The council’s Hybrid Working Policy applies to this post. This provides a framework for establishing how you will undertake working hours between your home and the office.
