Eden Brown Synergy is currently recruiting for an experienced and committed Qualified Social Worker to join the Children's Safeguarding Team at Bolton Council. This is an excellent opportunity to work in a progressive local authority dedicated to protecting vulnerable children and improving outcomes for families across the borough.

About the Role:

As a Social Worker in Bolton's Safeguarding Children Team, you will be responsible for delivering high-quality statutory support to children subject to Child Protection Plans, Child in Need Plans, and Care Proceedings.

Your key duties will include:

• Managing a diverse caseload of CIN, CP, and court cases
• Completing thorough assessments and safeguarding reports
• Undertaking home visits and working within statutory timescales
• Preparing evidence and documentation for court proceedings
• Participating in duty rota cover, responding to urgent cases across the service

• Skilled at working within a statutory safeguarding environment
• Confident in managing complex cases and progressing care plans
• Experienced in child protection procedures and family court processes
• Proactive, resilient, and highly organised in a fast-paced setting
• Team-oriented, yet capable of working autonomously with minimal supervision

Essential Requirements:

• Qualified Social Worker (Degree/DipSW/CQSW)
• Registered with Social Work England
• Minimum 3 years post-qualified experience within Children's Safeguarding
• Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle

Why Join Bolton Council?
