Who You Are

You are an experienced social worker with extensive post-qualifying experience within Children's Services, particularly in child protection, Looked-After Children (LAC), and court proceedings.

You will attend permanence and care planning meetings, work in tandem with Team Managers to strategize effective care plans, and act as an advisor in Legal Planning Meetings. You are expected to coordinate with CAFCASS and other bodies to ensure best practices are followed. The position also requires a readiness to undertake an Enhanced DBS Check and maintain a stringent adherence to health and safety standards. Additionally, you are encouraged to share your expertise with peers across various specializations and are prepared to embrace and promote the use of the Welsh language.
