The Role
Join Bolton’s Adult South Neighbourhood team, working closely with the multi-disciplinary team to support adults and carers eligible for assessment and care under the Care Act 2014.

Key duties include conducting care act assessments, support planning, reviews, mental capacity assessments, participating in best interests’ meetings, and handling complex cases. The role also involves safeguarding, risk assessment, and coordinating resources from social care, health, and other agencies.
About You

While in this role you will need to demonstrate passion, commitment and enthusiasm to working closely with those with care and support needs, their families and carers, other professionals and your managers and peers.
You must hold a degree in social work, be registered with Social Work England, with evidence of continuing professional development.
