In Bridgend County Borough Council we are really proud of our strengths based outcome focussed operating model in Adult Social Care.
We are now seeking an experienced, values led, dynamic and innovative social worker to continue to support the service in driving this approach forward.
This is an exciting new role and as a Consultant Social Worker you will work closely with our senior management team, learning and development colleagues and our network of consultant social workers to further embed our strengths based and outcome focussed operating model. You will also work closely with colleagues leading the wider systems changes we are introducing, including our new digital case management and AI systems.
This will be a varied role and will focus on delivering a plan that aligns our professional practice across all of our adult social care teams.
You will support a range of quality assurance and service improvement activities, advise on the development of policies and practice guidance where needed and represent adult social care in the wider department and with our partner organisations.
You will ensure we can provide excellent opportunities for social work students/trainees in Adult Social Care and provide professional supervision, coaching and mentoring when it is needed.
The people we support are at the heart of everything we do in Bridgend so you should be confident in taking a co-productive approach and including people’s voice in our work.
This is an opportunity for a registered social worker to take the next step in your career and make a real difference to practice at a whole system level.
If this sounds like you then we’d really like to hear from you! Please contact Kelvin Barlow (Head of Adult Social Care) kelvin.barlow@bridgend.gov.uk
