G11 £37,890 - £40,876

This is a new post to develop the Special Guardianship Support Team in Wrexham. This service is responsible for the support and provision of services to special guardians and the children in their care.

We want Wrexham to be the place where children have the opportunity to build relationships with one or more adults who care for them throughout their childhood and beyond, and who are superb advocates for the children in their care.

We want our children subject to special guardianship orders to feel safe and loved and to receive the best possible education to prepare them for adulthood. The focus is on relationship based practice which is trauma informed so our special guardians feel they are equipped and supported to provide good consistent care to their children.

This is an exciting time to be joining the service to influence and shape the provision of such an important area of work.

Experience of supervising, supporting and mentoring social workers/ social work students or family support workers is essential in addition to experience of working within fostering or the special guardianship field.

If you have these key requirements as well as being a qualified social worker we would like to hear from you.

An enhanced DBS & Social Council for Wales registration is required for this position.
