About The Service
Cardiff Children’s Services Adolescent Resource Centre (ARC) supports young people aged 11-17years, who are on the edge of care. The aim is to achieve better outcomes for young people and their families, by offering an intensive, strengths based and trauma informed service to prevent the need for the young person to become accommodated.

We are also building on this model and hope to develop an adolescent service to provide a robust response to adolescent need.
The ARC manager will implement evidence-based practices and interventions; ensuring that an excellent standard of work practice exists within the team.
