Intervention Specialist

The post holder is required to work within an integrated, multi-disciplinary team to provide a direct intervention service to families who meet the criteria for Integrated Family Support Services. The post holder will be required to work within a flexible framework in order to meet the demands of the service.

Initially, the post holder will be working with families who have parental substance misuse, but this is likely in future, to extend to include parental mental illness, learning disabilities and domestic abuse.

This post holder will not have overall case management responsibility but will work intensively with all members of the family providing evidence based interventions for a specified period within the new 'Family Plan' and framework for IFSS interventions.

The post holder will have a degree of autonomy and professional accountability. The post holder will be expected to be a specialist in their field and take the lead within the IFS Team for researching and promoting evidence based practice, ensuring that improved knowledge and skills and excellent practice are embedded in the IFS Team and the wider service provision.
