Principal Social Worker (Court Work)

Cardiff are looking to recruit permanent workers with a passion and drive to deliver only the 'very best' service to our children and their families and carers.

Cardiff is a forward thinking organisation that is looking at remote and innovative ways of working with flexibility to work at home, in the office and supporting safe face-to-face contact with families and children.

Cardiff Children's services are leaders in practice and have been chosen as the location for key pilot projects including Family Drug and Alcohol Courts. We are forward thinking and seeking to embrace new models of working to ensure success in supporting children and young people experiencing mental health crisis and children involved with criminal exploitation. Our new ways of working have led us to develop multi-disciplinary teams.

Cardiff supports the learning and development of individuals through leadership and management development opportunities whilst actively involving staff in the auditing and review of proactive learning that enables continuous development of the service and individuals within a nurturing and supportive culture.

There is a key focus on shifting the balance of care ensuring that only those children for whom risks cannot be mitigated are placed outside their family network. This is being achieved through clear analysis of the presenting issues and seeking to tailor support to meet the needs of family which might include daily support in the home and or the use of respite. Cardiff are committed to working with families through statutory intervention and sharing parental responsibility only where the risks dictate and not as a result of access to resources/services.

Mae Caerdydd am recriwtio gweithwyr parhaol sy'n frwd ac yn llawn cymhelliant i ddarparu'r gwasanaeth gorau posibl i'n plant a'u teuluoedd a'u gofalwyr.

Mae Caerdydd yn sefydliad blaengar sy'n edrych ar ffyrdd o weithio o bell ac arloesol gyda hyblygrwydd i weithio gartref, yn y swyddfa a chefnogi cyswllt diogel wyneb yn wyneb â theuluoedd a phlant.

Mae gwasanaethau Plant Caerdydd yn arweinwyr o ran ymarfer ac fe'u dewiswyd fel lleoliad ar gyfer prosiectau peilot allweddol gan gynnwys Llysoedd Cyffuriau ac Alcohol Teuluol. Rydym yn flaengar ac yn ceisio croesawu modelau gweithio newydd er mwyn sicrhau llwyddiant wrth gefnogi plant a phobl ifanc sy'n profi argyfwng iechyd meddwl a phlant sy'n ymwneud â cham-fanteisio troseddol. Mae ein ffyrdd newydd o weithio wedi ein harwain at ddatblygu timau amlddisgyblaethol.

Mae Caerdydd yn cefnogi dysgu a datblygu unigolion drwy gyfleoedd datblygu arweinyddiaeth a rheolaeth wrth gynnwys staff yn y gwaith o archwilio ac adolygu dysgu rhagweithiol sy'n galluogi datblygiad parhaus y gwasanaeth ac unigolion o fewn diwylliant meithringar a chefnogol.

Mae ffocws allweddol ar symud cydbwysedd gofal gan sicrhau mai dim ond y plant hynny na ellir lliniaru risgiau ar eu rhan sy'n cael eu rhoi y tu allan i'w rhwydwaith teuluol. Mae hyn yn cael ei gyflawni drwy ddadansoddi'r materion cyflwyno yn glir a cheisio teilwra cymorth i ddiwallu anghenion teulu a allai gynnwys cymorth dyddiol yn y cartref a/neu ddefnyddio seibiant. Mae Caerdydd wedi ymrwymo i weithio gyda theuluoedd drwy ymyrraeth statudol a rhannu cyfrifoldeb rhiant dim ond pan fo'r risgiau'n mynnu hynny ac nid o ganlyniad i fynediad at adnoddau / gwasanaethau.
