An exciting opportunity is available for a qualified Adult Social Worker to join a community-based team in Cardiff. This role is suited to a compassionate, confident professional who is committed to promoting independence, wellbeing and choice for adults, while supporting individuals to live safely and meaningfully within their communities.
You will manage a varied caseload involving assessment, care planning, review and safeguarding. Working in accordance with relevant legislation, policies and professional standards, you will identify people’s strengths, needs and desired outcomes, and develop proportionate support plans with individuals, their families and other professionals. You will also respond appropriately to concerns relating to neglect, abuse, self-neglect and risk, taking timely action to protect adults at risk.
The post involves working collaboratively with health colleagues, care providers, housing services, voluntary organisations and other agencies to coordinate effective support. You will contribute to multidisciplinary discussions, arrange and review services, maintain accurate case records and ensure that decisions are clearly evidenced. The role may also include supporting people with complex needs, mental health concerns, physical disabilities, sensory impairments, cognitive difficulties or changing levels of independence.
Applicants must hold a recognised Social Work qualification and be registered with Social Care Wales. Previous experience within adult social care, community services or a statutory setting is desirable, along with a sound understanding of strengths-based practice, safeguarding, mental capacity, financial assessments and the principles of personalisation. You should be able to manage competing priorities, work autonomously and communicate effectively with people from a wide range of backgrounds.
A full driving licence and access to transport may be required, depending on service needs. In return, this position offers the opportunity to make a genuine difference, develop your professional experience and work as part of a supportive, multidisciplinary community team.
