Commissioning for Complex Needs Team
Helping People Progress, Live Well and Live Their Best Lives
Are you an experienced Social Worker who is passionate about supporting people to achieve meaningful outcomes, maximise their independence and live the life they choose?
We are looking for a motivated, creative and forward-thinking practitioner to join our Commissioning for Complex Needs Team.
This is more than a traditional assessment and care planning role. As part of our Commissioning for Complex Needs Team, you will support adults with complex needs to build on their strengths, aspirations, relationships and community connections, helping them achieve what matters most and live well.
Why Work for Bridgend County Borough Council?
As well as the opportunity to make a real difference to people's lives, we offer:
- Flexible and hybrid working arrangements, where service needs allow.
- A supportive and collaborative working environment.
- Regular supervision and professional support.
- Learning and development opportunities to support your career progression.
- A strong commitment to employee wellbeing.
- Membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme.
- Generous annual leave entitlement.
About the Role
At the heart of this role is progression.
We believe support should create opportunities for people to progress, build on their strengths and achieve the outcomes that matter most to them.
Using strengths-based and outcome-focused social work practice, you will work alongside individuals, families, carers, providers and partner agencies to develop progression plans that promote independence, wellbeing, choice and control. Bringing professional curiosity, creativity and critical thinking to complex situations, you will help identify opportunities, overcome barriers and support people to achieve their goals and aspirations. Through assessments, reviews and collaborative working, you will help ensure people have the right accommodation, care and support to achieve the outcomes that matter most to them. You will work closely with providers and partners to ensure support remains focused on progression, enabling people to develop skills, build confidence and move closer to living the life they want to live.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits

Alongside your direct work with individuals, you will contribute to developing solutions for people with complex needs and help inform future accommodation, care and support options, ensuring services continue to evolve to meet changing needs.
