Cardiff and Vale University Health Board is one of the largest Integrated Health Boards in the UK, employing over 16,000 staff and providing over 100 specialist services. Serving a population of around 500,000 people living in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan, we are focused on the health and care needs of our local population whilst also working with our partners to develop regional services. Together we are committed to improving health outcomes for everyone and to delivering excellent care and support. Our mission is “Living Well, Caring Well, Working Together”.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated senior social worker to join the Nephrology and Transplant Directorate as we invest in the development of social workers and the lead role they play in providing support for our renal patients.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and resourceful senior social worker who will have the ability to respond positively and creatively to the needs of our services. You will work at the forefront of our psychosocial service for our renal patients. Our post requires someone with a high degree of flexibility and creativity and a positive, forward-thinking attitude. You must be an excellent communicator, dynamic and well versed and assertive in multi-disciplinary working and developing and maintaining relationships with key partners. In return we will offer you support from our established psychosocial team, supervision, training and development. The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.

We are committed to promoting inclusion, where all staff have a sense of belonging. We welcome applications from everyone and recognise the need for our workforce to represent the diversity of the population we serve. We value our differences and fully advocate, cultivate and support an inclusive working environment where staff treat one another with dignity and respect and where diversity is celebrated. We aim to create a working environment where every individual can fulfil their potential no matter their disability, sex, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, age, religion or belief, pregnancy and maternity or marriage and civil partnership status. We are keen to break down barriers in the UHB, and encourage applications from under-represented groups.
