Our Child Disability and Transition team is a frontline assessment, case management team which specialises in providing support and services to disabled children and young people across the County Borough of Bridgend. This includes children who are care experienced and those disabled young people who are transitioning into adulthood.
The team responds to children and families with complex needs or where there are early child protection concerns and provides high quality support and intervention for those with longer term needs.
This is an excellent opportunity to join our busy, motivated and supportive Child Disability and Transition team. You will have a recognised social work qualification along with knowledge and understanding of the complex needs of disabled children/young people/adults and their families. Ideally you will have experience of working as a social worker in children or adult services and a desire to specialise in working with disabled children/young people/adults. We would also welcome applications from newly qualified social workers who have an interest in specialising in this area of social work. This post offers a rare opportunity to manage both children and adult cases and to gain a wide range of case management experience across the age span within a supportive team.
A relocation package up to £8,000 will be considered for this post.
If you are interested in this position and would like more information please contact Beverley Whiteley - Team Manager, Child Disability and Transition team on (01656) 815442
