Substance Misuse Practioner
The Substance Misuse Specialist Practitioner will provide specialist alcohol and drug misuse expertise within Tyre Hill House’s evidence-led residential family assessment and change model.
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 the impact of alcohol use, drug use, dependence, relapse risk, recovery, harm reduction, emotional regulation and associated lifestyle risks on parenting, child safety and the child’s lived experience.
The role combines substance misuse assessment, direct psychosocial intervention, harm reduction advice, relapse prevention, recovery planning, consultation, staff support, contribution to formulation, recording and specialist input into final analysis and recommendations.
