The team is multidisciplinary and is operated in partnership with Family Action (BAND), our third sector partner.
The team is currently undergoing a period of significant expansion, with the postholder being expected to be based at Horwich Public Hall.
The team operates 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday, however the successful applicant will be regularly required to participate as Duty Worker for the team, which requires attendance at the new Referral and Assessment Hub in Bolton, based at the Royal Bolton Hospital. On these days, staff may be expected to work until 7pm when on duty and potential weekend working on a rota basis as part of this commitment.
You will need to have experience of triaging and signposting referrals as well as being able to liaise with multitude of agencies and professionals. Experience and knowledge of community services and third sector organisations in Bolton will be beneficial for this role.
