A little more information about the teams:
We are looking for qualified Social Workers to work in our Child Health and Disability Team
Social Workers in our Child Health and Disability Team provide services to children and young people who have a severe or significant learning disability, physical disability, sensory impairment, or profound communication impairment. They have strong multi-agency links, particularly with Health. You will play a role in responding to new referrals to the team and in ensuring we provide an effective initial response and will develop longer term relationships with families to help them achieve what matters to them.
Work will be purposeful and risks will be managed confidently. The Team is well resourced to enable workers to operate in a timely way but also with time to reflect.
In The Child Health and Disability Team, workers are able to be kind, consistent and focussed in their work with children, young people and their families / carers. Managers are readily available and staff wellbeing is a priority.
The Vale of Glamorgan Council is the governing body for the Vale of Glamorgan, one of the Principal Areas of Wales.
The new Vale of Glamorgan Council unitary authority came into effect on 1 April 1996, following the dissolution of South Glamorgan. It replaced the Vale of Glamorgan Borough Council, which had been created in 1974 as a second-tier authority to South Glamorgan County Council.
The council has been under no overall control since 2012. Since the 2022 election the council has been run by a coalition of Labour, the Llantwit First Independents, and one of the independent councillors.
The first election to the reconstituted council was held in 1995, initially operating as a shadow authority alongside the outgoing authorities until it came into its powers on 1 April 1996.
