We have a great opportunity for you to further your social care career and ensure we continue to deliver the best services for our children and families.
Continuously building on our strengths we are committed to the principle that the most effective way of improving outcomes for all children, young people and families is through the provision of accessible, universal services. Join us and you will work in a rewarding environment where staff are valued.
In 2018 we launched our MASH (Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub) in Bridgend with key partners which incorporates the requirements of the Social Services & Wellbeing (Wales) Act 2014 along with safeguarding our most vulnerable children and adults.
Our MASH is the single point of contact for all professionals and citizens to raise safeguarding concerns. The MASH co-locates key partners (either physically or virtually) in order to improve the initial response to all referrals including safeguarding concerns in relation to children and vulnerable adults. Our Information, Advice and Assistance team is located in the MASH and integral to the model.
You will have management oversight of this team whilst also playing a pivotal role in the continued development of our MASH.
We encourage applicants from both experienced Social Workers and existing managers. In return, you will receive a robust induction, regular supervision, training and mentoring where required. Additionally, you will be able to further your career with both development and promotional opportunities.
A relocation fee of up to £8000 will be considered for this post

Protecting children, young people or adults at risk is a core responsibility of all council employees.
Applicants should note that a criminal records check by the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) will be necessary for the successful applicant.
