A new Social Worker posts has been created within Mental Health and Learning Disability Services, as we embark on an ambitious program of change. Our vision is to reduce the reliance on residential care for adults with a learning disability or mental illness. We believe that wherever possible people should live in their own homes and be supported to live independent lives, within their communities.
The social workers (Progression and Review) will be expected to work in a team working alongside social workers in the mental health and learning disability teams. Including commissioning, health, housing, and independent sector partners to support the delivery of this vision. The work will involve undertaking a programme of reviews for people in existing residential care placements, with the aim wherever possible of enabling people to step down safely. There will also be an element of right-sizing existing packages should that be necessary. You will be required to have experience of delivering services to people with complex needs.
We welcome applications from newly qualified social workers.
As a newly qualified Social Worker, you will have the best start with dedicated support to grow into your social work career. We also recognise the immense value of experience and the complex work experienced Social Workers undertake.

Carmarthenshire County Council is the local authority for the county of Carmarthenshire, Wales. It provides a range of services including education, planning, transport, social services and public safety.
The council is one of twenty-two unitary authorities that came into existence on 1 April 1996 under the provisions of the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994.
It took over local government functions previously provided by the three district councils of Carmarthen, Dinefwr, and Llanelli, as well as the county-level services in the area from Dyfed County Council, all of which councils were abolished at the same time.
