Job Description & Person Specification

It’s a 3 week rolling rota, working morning, Afternoons and Nights for both contracts 30 hours over 4 days and 35 Hour over 5 days. 

Support people to live well - on their own terms.

Ty Llwynderw is an Extra Care service where people live in their own apartments and receive just enough support to stay well, remain active, and continue the life they’ve built. Alongside the Extra Care flats, we provide 24-hour residential care for people living with dementia, where consistency and compassion make all the difference.

You’ll work as part of a skilled, multi-agency team alongside Codi Group colleagues, District Nurses, Social Workers, and Therapists - visiting people in their own homes and providing care in our residential suite, always guided by what matters most to the individual.

We work a flexible rota covering days, afternoons, and nights. This is deliberate - the team who know people during the day are the same team supporting them at night, which means genuinely consistent care around the clock.

What we’re looking for

People with excellent values - respectful, a good listener, and someone who believes in supporting people to do things for themselves. You’ll need to be registered with Social Care Wales (or commit to registering within six months), and hold or be working towards a Level 2 in Health and Social Care (Adults), which must be in place within three years of registration.

What you’ll get

Competitive pay, generous annual leave, and Local Government Pension Scheme membership. A Learning and Development team invested in your progression, regular supervision, and an Employee Assistance Programme including confidential counselling. Access to staff discounts nationwide, plus options for additional and flexible leave.

Do you want to play a hands-on role in shaping how development comes forward across Bridgend County Borough, helping to ensure new schemes are delivered safely, efficiently and with the right transport infrastructure in place?

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated and capable professional to join the Highways Development Control team at Bridgend County Borough Council, within the Planning and Development Services Group. This is a key role within a well-established and supportive team that sits at the centre of the planning process and works closely with planners, developers and engineers to manage the transport impacts of development.

The role focuses on providing professional highway and transportation advice on a wide range of planning applications, from smaller developments through to more complex schemes. You will assess transport implications, carry out site visits, engage with applicants and agents, and prepare clear, proportionate and defensible responses to the Local Planning Authority. The role also involves advising on appropriate mitigation, supporting Section 106 discussions, and contributing to the delivery of new or improved transport infrastructure where required.

You will work closely with colleagues across highways and planning, as well as external consultants, developers and elected members. The role requires sound judgement, clear communication and a practical, solution-focused approach. With support from senior colleagues, you will take responsibility for your own caseload and contribute positively to the wider work of the team.

This role would suit someone with experience in highways, transport or planning who is looking to develop their career within highways development control. Previous direct HDC experience is welcomed but not essential, and we are keen to hear from applicants who have been exposed to development-related transport or highway work and are ready to build their expertise in this area.

This is an exciting time to join Bridgend CBC as we continue to remodel the way we meet the needs of children who need our support in line with the Welsh Government agenda to end profit in children’s residential services in Wales.

Hillsboro House provides care and support for one child/young person who due to their complex needs cannot be placed alongside others. Hillsboro House is a crisis home, it is used as a short to medium-term bridging placement, supporting the individual to progress into transitioning towards a stable long-term placement. Due to the nature of the service, there is a possibility it could become ‘dormant’ when the young persons move out, staff would continue their role supporting our other children’s services. Hillsboro can become active at short notice, staff would quickly transition back if an emergency appropriate child or young person is referred. This means that the service is more reactive and can also avoid the alternative option of an Out of County placement.

Hillsboro House seeks to offer opportunity for pause and to understand the individuals need better, we support young people to assist in a transition for the child or young person into services that are best suited to promote positive change and development. Our focus is to provide a therapeutic environment to stabilise the child’s / young person’s challenging behaviour, work on improving any risk-taking behaviours, re-connect to education or any other current difficulties they have.

As a children’s residential worker, you will need to be willing to complete the All Wales Induction Framework as part of your induction, followed by the level 3 QCF in children and young people as listed in the Qualification framework for the Social Care Sector in Wales. You will also need to be registered with Social Care Wales on successful completion of your induction.

Do you feel that you want to be at the centre of the on-going development of this innovative approach to care? Are you able to work on a flexible basis? Are you motivated and eager to see a successful outcome for the young person.

Can you work to the highest of standards, ensuring that the home remains compliant with Regulatory Requirements and supports children and young people to achieve the best possible outcomes? If so, we would love to hear from you!
