We have a great opportunity for you to further your social care career and ensure we continue to deliver the best services for our children and families.
Continuously building on our strengths we are committed to the principle that the most effective way of improving outcomes for all children, young people and families is through the provision of accessible, universal services. Join us and you will work in a rewarding environment where staff are valued.
In 2018 we launched our MASH (Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub) in Bridgend with key partners which incorporates the requirements of the Social Services & Wellbeing (Wales) Act 2014 along with safeguarding our most vulnerable children and adults.
Our MASH is the single point of contact for all professionals and citizens to raise safeguarding concerns. The MASH co-locates key partners (either physically or virtually) to improve the initial response to all referrals including safeguarding concerns in relation to children and vulnerable adults. Our Information, Advice and Assistance team is in the MASH and integral to the model.
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
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will receive a robust induction, regular supervision, training and mentoring where required. Additionally, you will be able to further your career with both development and promotional opportunities.
In Bridgend we use the Signs of Safety practice model and full training will be provided to the successful applicant.
