Social Worker 2 - Safeguarding & Family Support

37 hours per week

Temporary up to January 2021

Bridgend's Public Service Board is committed to an innovative service to work more effectively with families who are affected by the Criminal Justice System and to provide a holistic support service for prisoners and their families post release.

In this context, an exciting opportunity has arisen to help continue the development of a co-located multi-agency service. The project has been in operation since October 2012.

Your experience as a social work professional over a number of years will allow you to support and develop an effective multi-agency family intervention service which improves outcomes for families affected by custody and reduces longer term costs to public services.

This is an opportunity to develop your social work skills and to practice in a new way, developing new ways of working creatively with whole families. If you have the necessary professional knowledge supported by experience, we look forward to hearing from you. In return, we can offer an opportunity for you to make your mark and implement change in a supportive environment.

Applicants should note that a criminal records check by the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) will be necessary for the successful applicant.

Closing Date: Wednesday 16th January 2019
