Description:

Change Grow Live is a charity dedicated to the belief that we can make a difference to our service users lives, offering support and respect in a safe environment, treating each user as an individual and working with them to find the right support and care options.

As a Family Practitioner within our Thriving Families programme, you will be providing drug and/or alcohol support to parents within a family intervention framework.

You will be providing holistic support to families who are currently known to Child Protection, or Child in Need Plans, alongside a team of Social Work professionals, all aiming to keep the family unit intact.

The multi-agency team you will be working closely with could include Family Help, Mental Health Practitioners, and Domestic Abuse Workers, requiring strong partnership working skills from the Family Practitioner to provide reliable wraparound support to the family.

As a Family Practitioner, you will work with adults within families to understand substance use within the household.

This will include a comprehensive assessment of needs that will help to inform interventions, which will be led by the requirements of the person accessing support.

You will utilise an array of interventions to enable families to be able to consider the impacts of substance use, identify their strengths, and rebuild their connections with each other.

Additionally, you will work with a small case load on a routine basis, visiting them in spaces that work for their needs, including home visits.

This will empower families to feel supported and embed the services' holistic family approach to familial substance use.

Ultimately, the project aims to work holistically to support families to thrive and ultimately keep the family unit intact.
