Cardiff are seeking to build upon the success of recruiting social workers by ensuring that we have the very best principal social workers to coach and support our workers, enabling them to grow and develop. In pursuit of this we have increased the number of principal social workers are seeking to recruit permanent workers with a passion and drive to delivery only the 'very best' service to our children and their families and carers. The proverb ' it takes a village to raise a child ' is as relevant to a major city such as Cardiff as it is anywhere - the challenge is to identify, engage and work collaboratively with our communities to achieve this. Cardiff's locality model allows social workers and support staff to work within the local communities and get to know the specific needs of the communities we support. Working in partnership with other statutory and non-statutory agencies and the 3rd sector we provide the right level of assistance to our families at the right time, empowering families to reach out to these support networks in order to reduce the long term needs of individuals and the communities they live in. Cardiff as the capital of Wales offers not only the experience of working in a vibrant, and successful city but also offers easy access to the fabulous South Wales region's coastline and countryside with worldwide standing. Whether you choose to live in the city or within commuting distance, you have plenty of choice in accommodation, with excellent transport routes. For those practitioners seeking to broaden their experience working with Children and their families, Cardiff has so much to offer, through exciting opportunities to develop practice knowledge in areas that can only be found in the capital city, working with children and families from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Cardiff is a forward thinking organisation that is looking at remote and innovative ways of working with flexibility to work at home, in the office and supporting safe face-to-face contact with families and children. Cardiff Children's services are leaders in practice and have been chosen as the location for key pilot projects including Family Drug and Alcohol Courts. We are forward thinking and seeking to embrace new models of working to ensure success in supporting children and young people experiencing mental health crisis and children involved with criminal exploitation. Our new ways of working have led us to develop multi-disciplinary teams. Cardiff supports the learning and development of individuals through leadership and management development opportunities whilst actively involving staff in the auditing and review of proactive learning that enables continuous development of the service and individuals within a nurturing and supportive culture. There is a key focus on shifting the balance of care ensuring that only those children for whom risks cannot be mitigated are placed outside their family network. This is being achieved through clear analysis of the presenting issues and seeking to tailor support to meet the needs of family which might include daily support in the home and or the use of respite. Cardiff are committed to working with families through statutory intervention and sharing parental responsibility only where the risks dictate and not as a result of access to resources/services. About the job Cardiff Safeguarding and Children looked after teams are now based in 3 localities across the city at St Mellons in the East, Fairwater in the North and Cardiff Bay in the South enabling staff to be based within the communities that they serve. Within the team's geographical area you will support children and young people through robust assessment, outcome focused planning and effective intervention to support them in achieving positive outcomes within their families and communities. Working within a restorative practice approach, you will work in partnership with families and multi-agency colleagues in intervening to address both the presenting concerns and underlying difficulties. This is an exciting opportunity to join the service which puts the individual at the heart of our work. The teams work from a strengths-based (Signs of Safety) approach to meet the needs of young people and their families. As the Principal Social Worker you will have the opportunity to develop the practice of others within the team through joint working and supervision whilst also leading by example as case-holder for those children with more complex needs who require the expertise of an experienced and skilled practitioner. What We Are Looking For From You You will have an offer of direct access to a senior manager as mentor, if required. You will form a critical key part of the locality management team: shaping its practice and development alongside the other PSWs, Team Managers and your Operational Manager. Within the team you will take the role of Practice Leader, working with the Team Manager, supporting and encouraging the culture within the services as well as leading, teaching and modelling the Signs of Safety approach. You will work alongside the Team Manager to help in managing the performance and development of Social Workers as well as contributing to the development and maintenance of effective systems to ensure quality services to children in need and their families. The successful candidates must have robust safeguarding experience and experience of working with Children looked after and be confident with court proceedings.

Cardiff are seeking to build upon the success of recruiting social workers by ensuring that we have the very best principal social workers to coach and support our workers, enabling them to grow and develop. In pursuit of this we have increased the number of principal social workers are seeking to recruit permanent workers with a passion and drive to delivery only the 'very best' service to our children and their families and carers. The proverb ' it takes a village to raise a child ' is as relevant to a major city such as Cardiff as it is anywhere - the challenge is to identify, engage and work collaboratively with our communities to achieve this. Cardiff's locality model allows social workers and support staff to work within the local communities and get to know the specific needs of the communities we support. Working in partnership with other statutory and non-statutory agencies and the 3rd sector we provide the right level of assistance to our families at the right time, empowering families to reach out to these support networks in order to reduce the long term needs of individuals and the communities they live in. Cardiff as the capital of Wales offers not only the experience of working in a vibrant, and successful city but also offers easy access to the fabulous South Wales region's coastline and countryside with worldwide standing. Whether you choose to live in the city or within commuting distance, you have plenty of choice in accommodation, with excellent transport routes. For those practitioners seeking to broaden their experience working with Children and their families, Cardiff has so much to offer, through exciting opportunities to develop practice knowledge in areas that can only be found in the capital city, working with children and families from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. Cardiff is a forward thinking organisation that is looking at remote and innovative ways of working with flexibility to work at home, in the office and supporting safe face-to-face contact with families and children. Cardiff Children's services are leaders in practice and have been chosen as the location for key pilot projects including Family Drug and Alcohol Courts. We are forward thinking and seeking to embrace new models of working to ensure success in supporting children and young people experiencing mental health crisis and children involved with criminal exploitation. Our new ways of working have led us to develop multi-disciplinary teams. Cardiff supports the learning and development of individuals through leadership and management development opportunities whilst actively involving staff in the auditing and review of proactive learning that enables continuous development of the service and individuals within a nurturing and supportive culture. There is a key focus on shifting the balance of care ensuring that only those children for whom risks cannot be mitigated are placed outside their family network. This is being achieved through clear analysis of the presenting issues and seeking to tailor support to meet the needs of family which might include daily support in the home and or the use of respite. Cardiff are committed to working with families through statutory intervention and sharing parental responsibility only where the risks dictate and not as a result of access to resources/services. About the job Cardiff Safeguarding and Children looked after teams are now based in 3 localities across the city at St Mellons in the East, Fairwater in the North and Cardiff Bay in the South enabling staff to be based within the communities that they serve. Within the team's geographical area you will support children and young people through robust assessment, outcome focused planning and effective intervention to support them in achieving positive outcomes within their families and communities. Working within a restorative practice approach, you will work in partnership with families and multi-agency colleagues in intervening to address both the presenting concerns and underlying difficulties. This is an exciting opportunity to join the service which puts the individual at the heart of our work. The teams work from a strengths-based (Signs of Safety) approach to meet the needs of young people and their families. As the Principal Social Worker you will have the opportunity to develop the practice of others within the team through joint working and supervision whilst also leading by example as case-holder for those children with more complex needs who require the expertise of an experienced and skilled practitioner. What We Are Looking For From You You will have an offer of direct access to a senior manager as mentor, if required. You will form a critical key part of the locality management team: shaping its practice and development alongside the other PSWs, Team Managers and your Operational Manager. Within the team you will take the role of Practice Leader, working with the Team Manager, supporting and encouraging the culture within the services as well as leading, teaching and modelling the Signs of Safety approach. You will work alongside the Team Manager to help in managing the performance and development of Social Workers as well as contributing to the development and maintenance of effective systems to ensure quality services to children in need and their families. The successful candidates must have robust safeguarding experience and experience of working with Children looked after and be confident with court proceedings. As a child protection social worker, you must be flexible and able to work under pressure. Due to the nature of the role candidates must have front line post qualifying experience in child protection services. A degree in Social Work is essential for this role, as well as excellent skills in assessment and the ability to write concise records and reports.

We have a modern case management system, an online legal library, and a small business support team. We also have 4 trainee solicitor posts which we use to help grow our own workforce. Upon qualification some trainees have continued to work with our area and many of our lawyers have long service with us. A vacancy has arisen where we are keen to recruit a high calibre, dynamic and qualified Solicitor/Barrister with relevant experience to undertake a wide range of Adult Services legal work. The workload is incredibly varied to include providing legal advice to our client department on many different aspects of public law, preparation and case management of applications before the Court and advocacy for in-person hearings. We offer a supportive team with a collaborative work ethic. Your managers will always make themselves available for you and will support and guide you whenever the need arises. Caseloads are manageable, and you will be able to work your cases efficiently and effectively whilst building positive relationships with professional clients. All your allocated work will be genuinely interesting and challenging, encouraging you to develop professionally and learn new skills. While the role is demanding our flexible working policies ensure a healthy work life balance. The Council's Flexi Time policy applies to the post and flexible working patterns are available, subject to meeting the needs of our clients and having mutual regard to the working arrangements of existing team members. The successful applicant would need to be able to travel at short notice in line with the demands of this post. The successful applicant will need to have the relevant qualification of degree status, be admitted as a Solicitor or called to the bar and must be able to work as part of a team. The successful applicant will also have the skills and experience within this area of law and a proven track record of advocacy to include contested matters. We expect the individual appointed to take personal responsibility for delivering excellence, to work with others to achieve the best possible outcomes, to embrace change and new opportunities, to make the most of the resources available and to think and act in the best interests of the Council.
