Work in Social Care

Why choose us

Pembrokeshire is a unique and beautiful county situated on the south west coast of Wales. Besides the 124,000 people who live and work here we also welcome around 2.3 million staying visitors each year. Here at Pembrokeshire County Council we are totally committed to delivering high quality services and value to our customers.

There is more to Pembrokeshire than the stunning scenery and world renowned coast path: we have a vibrant music and arts scene, plenty of opportunities to pursue water and land based activities, maybe explore charming villages and interesting towns or discover the amazing history and culture of the area.

Our aim is to ensure that Pembrokeshire is prosperous and that it remains vibrant and special.

Our teams are focussed on seeking continuous improvement in the quality of care and support and on protecting the most vulnerable children, young people and adults in our county we are proud of our achievements.

We are committed to ensuring that our people are fully supported and developed to fulfil their responsibilities, achieving the best outcomes for those in our care.

We are guided in our work by UK and Welsh legislation, including the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 and the Welsh Language Act 1993.

Our supportive management team is committed to a culture of openness and transparency, and our strengths-based approach to Appreciative Supervision, which puts you at the centre of your supervision, has been commended by BASW. This supportive working structure ensures you have all you need to perform to the best of your abilities, whilst doing a job you love.

Because our people are at the heart of what we do, we want you to have access to the best development opportunities. Please see our Learning and Development section for more details.
