Care-Experienced Specialist Worker
The Care-Experience Specialist Worker will provide specialist support, consultation and assessment contribution for parents at Tyre Hill House who are care-experienced or who have had significant involvement with children’s social care as children.
Tyre Hill House is not simply a residential setting in which families are observed. It is a structured assessment and change environment where daily care, observation, coaching, feedback, intervention and formulation are brought together to assess parenting capacity, capacity to change and whether safe care can be sustained within the child’s timescale.
The postholder will help the multidisciplinary team understand how care experience, previous loss, professional mistrust, trauma, early independence, disrupted relationships, housing insecurity, limited informal support, stigma and fear of judgement may affect parenting, engagement and capacity to use support.
The role combines direct work with parents, practical support, systems navigation, advocacy-informed practice, consultation, staff support, contribution to formulation, recording and specialist input into final analysis and recommendations.
