£37, 938 – 45, 718 (Depending on experience)

The vision of Children and Families Services in Carmarthenshire is to keep children safe and families together and we are investing in our services to make this happen.

We know that good Social Workers can make the world of difference to children and families who need support, and we are committed to making sure our Social Workers have what they need to do their jobs well.

This is an exciting time to join a supportive, progressive and forward-thinking authority that values the experience and skills that you have.

You will be a part of a supportive team, committed to delivering high quality Social Work services and a wider service working together to do the best they can to support children, young people, and their families to stay together and feel connected to their communities.

We are looking for applicants with a Social Work qualification and experience of working with children, young people and families in a social care role.

As a newly qualified Social Worker, you will have the best start with dedicated support to grow into your social work career. We also recognise the immense value of experience, and the complex work experienced Social Workers undertake. You will have the opportunity to progress in social work practice (outside of a management pathway) through our ‘Experienced Practitioner Progression Framework’. Successful progression offers the higher range salary reward.

We can offer you a comprehensive induction, regular professional supervision, hybrid and flexible working, and a supportive professional development programme.
