The Open University is the UK’s largest university, a world leader in flexible part-time education combining a mission to widen access to higher education with research excellence, transforming lives through education. Find out more about us and our mission by watching this short video (you will be taken to YouTube by clicking this link).
About the Role
This exciting post enables the postholder to play an active role in the development of opportunities for students to use the Welsh language in their studies for the BA (Hons) Social Work (Wales) at the Open University (OU) in Wales. The OU is committed to meeting the needs of Welsh students, while our commitment to educational opportunity and social justice are encapsulated in our mission statement, in that ‘The Open University is open to people, places, methods and ideas’.
The Social Work Programme encourages students and staff to use the Welsh language, whatever their level of ability. In practice, this includes the delivery of bilingual face to face workshops (depending on the language skills of tutors), electronic communication, and provision of key documents in the medium of Welsh. Students can complete the academic and practice elements of the degree in Welsh and/or English, and our students welcome this choice.
Your role will be to take a lead in ensuring adequate and appropriate support for Welsh speaking students as they study for the social work degree (both academically and in their practice learning settings), focussing on the practice learning modules.
You will build on what has already been achieved by supporting students, updating resources and taking a role in staff development to enable tutors and others to provide appropriate support with regard to the Welsh language. You will also work with the social work team in Wales and Milton Keynes to ensure appropriate support with regard to the Welsh Language within a four nation UK-wide perspective.
You will also engage with the academic community in Wales and further afield, through collaboration with partners, Social Care Wales, and other Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), as well as with the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol. You will also contribute to the academic life of the Social Work Department, and will develop your own academic profile.

Flexible working
We are open to discussions about flexible working. Whether it’s a job share, part time, compressed hours or another working arrangement. Please reach out to us to discuss what works best for you.
Working Location: It is anticipated that a hybrid working pattern can be adopted for this role, where the successful candidate can work from home and the office. However, as this role is contractually aligned to our Cardiff Office, it is expected that some attendance in the office will be required when necessary and in response to business needs. Full-time working based from our Cardiff site is also supported if this is preferred by the candidate. Expenses associated with travel to our Cardiff site are not reimbursable.
Next steps in the Recruitment process
Interview dates are still to be confirmed.
Early closing date notification
While most roles will remain open until the advertised closing date, applications may be reviewed on an ongoing basis. In some cases, vacancies may close earlier if a sufficient number of suitable applications has been received and equality impacts have been appropriately considered. All roles will remain advertised for a minimum of one week before any early closure is implemented.
If you have started an application or were in the process of applying when the advert closed, we encourage you to get in touch. We are committed to understanding individual circumstances and can offer further support where needed, including reasonable adjustments for applicants with protected characteristics.

We recognise that different people bring different perspectives, ideas, knowledge, and culture, and that this difference brings great strength. We strive to recruit, retain and develop the careers of a diverse pool of students and staff, and particularly encourage applications from all underrepresented groups. We also aspire to make The Open University a supportive workplace for all through our policies, services and staff networks.

Mae'r Brifysgol Agored yn ymrwymedig i ddiwallu anghenion myfyrwyr Cymru, a chaiff ein hymrwymiad i gyfleoedd addysgol a chyfiawnder cymdeithasol ei grynhoi yn ein datganiad cenhadaeth, sef bod Y Brifysgol Agored yn agored i bobl, lleoedd, dulliau a syniadau.
Mae'r Rhaglen Gwaith Cymdeithasol yn annog myfyrwyr a staff i ddefnyddio'r Gymraeg, beth bynnag fo lefel eu gallu. Yn ymarferol, mae hyn yn cynnwys cyflwyno gweithdai wyneb yn wyneb dwyieithog (yn dibynnu ar sgiliau iaith tiwtoriaid), cyfathrebu electronig a darparu dogfennau allweddol drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg. Gall myfyrwyr gwblhau elfennau academaidd ac ymarferol o'r radd yn Gymraeg a/neu yn Saesneg, ac mae ein myfyrwyr yn croesawu'r dewis hwn.
Eich rôl fydd arwain y broses o sicrhau cymorth digonol a phriodol i fyfyrwyr sy'n siarad Cymraeg wrth iddynt astudio ar gyfer y radd gwaith cymdeithasol (yn academaidd ac yn eu lleoliadau ymarfer dysgu), gan ganolbwyntio ar y modiwlau ymarfer dysgu.

Byddwch hefyd yn cyfrannu at fywyd academaidd yr Adran Gwaith Cymdeithasol ac yn datblygu eich proffil academaidd eich hun.

Bydd yr holl rolau yn parhau i gael eu hysbysebu am o leiaf un wythnos cyn iddynt gael eu cau yn gynnar.
