Becoming a Social Work Assistant offers a great opportunity to become involved in making a real difference to the lives of children, young people and families in Cardiff.
Cardiff Children’s Services offer a range of opportunities for career development, including funded secondments to various degree and post graduate training courses.
Cardiff offers the opportunity to grow and develop through high quality training, regular and effective supervision, and a wide variety of opportunities to pursue career development, for example we have funded Social Work Assistants to go to university to obtain their Social Work qualification.
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 approach to meet the needs of young people and their families.
Cardiff is one of the fastest growing cities in Britain and is the first city in the UK to be declared as a UNICEF Child Friendly City that places the rights of children and young people at the head of our policies and strategies.
Parents have the most significant influence on children and on their future lives. It is our belief that outcomes for children are best when they are supported to grow and achieve within their own families. This belief has driven the ‘Think Family’ approach which looks at the family as a whole and co-ordinates support across the public services, tailored to each family’s needs and strengths.
If you are interested in being part of Cardiff’s journey to becoming one of the most vibrant and successful cities within the UK that puts Children first with the ambition of being a lead force behind practice development in Wales we would be excited to hear from you.
