Adult's SW - Transition Team - Bolton
An exciting opportunity is available for a qualified social worker to join an Adults Transition Team in Bolton. The role will support young people as they move from children’s services into adulthood, helping them achieve greater independence, wellbeing and choice during this important stage of their lives.
You will manage a varied caseload of young people and adults with care and support needs, completing strengths-based assessments in line with the Care Act. You will develop, review and monitor person-centred support plans, ensuring that individuals, families and carers are fully involved in decision-making. The role will include identifying eligible needs, arranging appropriate services, managing risk and promoting positive outcomes.
You will work closely with colleagues across children’s and adults’ services, education, health, housing, providers and other partner agencies to ensure effective transition planning. Responsibilities will include contributing to safeguarding enquiries, mental capacity assessments and best-interest decisions where required, while maintaining accurate and timely case records. You will also provide professional advice, challenge practice appropriately and advocate for the rights, views and aspirations of the people you support.
Applicants must hold a relevant social work qualification and current registration with Social Work England. You should have experience of working with adults or young people with care and support needs, together with a sound understanding of the Care Act, safeguarding, mental capacity legislation and strengths-based practice. Experience of transition work, learning disabilities, autism or complex needs would be advantageous.
You will be an effective communicator who can build trusted relationships, work confidently with professionals and families, and manage competing priorities in a demanding environment. A commitment to equality, inclusion and person-centred practice is essential, as is the ability to work independently while contributing positively to a wider team. The role may involve travel across the local area, so the ability to travel between locations is required.
