An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Social Work Practitioner to join our regional Forensic Team at Caswell Clinic. At Caswell Clinic we focus on individual outcomes for patients and have an interest in people with severe Mental Health issues who offend. To join our team you will need a strong commitment to a high standard of care and risk management.
You will work with an established multi-disciplinary clinical team across the health boards and across other local authorities in South Wales. This includes working in secure environments as well as in the community. You will be part of a team which allows areas of specific interest to be developed and with access to specialist training there are plentiful opportunities to deliver training to a wider cohort.
For this role, you will be a resilient and boundaried individual, able to work creatively in a challenging and rewarding environment.
