Job Description:

Blaenau-Gwent has a proud community heritage rooted in heavy industry and being the birthplace of the NHS. The area has transitioned from heavy industry to green spaces and community-focused living. Blaenau-Gwent Council is committed to being ‘a better place to live and work,’ aiming to ensure a bright future for its residents.

We are seeking creative and motivated social workers to join our Children’s Social Services’ department, with positions available in our Locality based teams. Responsibilities include assessment, care, and support planning for children in need of support, protection, or in care, from birth to 14 years old. Our practice emphasizes outcomes, strengths, and confident risk management.

Applications are welcomed from student social workers (pending qualification), newly qualified, and experienced social workers. Benefits include support, training, development opportunities, a competitive salary, staff rewards, flexible and agile working arrangements, and ongoing professional development such as workshops, coaching, mentoring, and supervision.

Newly qualified social workers will have protected caseloads and access to various training and support mechanisms to aid their transition. All staff receive regular supervision, and a high percentage report motivation, job satisfaction, and feeling valued and supported.

Access to a vehicle for work purposes is required. Thorough pre-employment screening, including a Disclosure of Criminal Records, will be conducted. Applications in Welsh are welcome. For re-employment policies, refer to the Council’s Pay Policy.
