The focus of the intervention is the adult (parent or carer) through the exploration of the parent/child relationship and presenting issues.
The Level 3 social worker can demonstrate advanced reasoning skills and operate autonomously with minimal direct clinical supervision
The position involves working with families with complexed issues and potential exposure to trauma.
