Therapeutic Specialist
2 weeks ago
The Therapeutic Specialist plays a pivotal role within the Therapeutic Foster Care (TFC) Program, providing expert clinical consultation, therapeutic assessment, and support to enhance outcomes for children and young people living in out-of-home care. This role is central to building carer capability, embedding trauma-informed practice within multidisciplinary care teams, and ensuring that each child or young person receives an individualised, evidence-informed therapeutic response aligned with their developmental, emotional and relational needs.
Operating as a core member of the Care Team, the Therapeutic Specialist is responsible for conducting and coordinating comprehensive assessments, contributing to the formulation and implementation of therapeutic plans aligned to the child/young person's Case Plan and delivering direct support to carers and practitioners through modelling, reflective consultation, and capacity building. The Therapeutic Specialist works in close partnership with carers, recognising and valuing their unique role in the child's recovery and supporting them to feel confident, capable and empowered in delivering therapeutic parenting. The role emphasises collaboration rather than direction, and seeks to build trusting, respectful relationships that enable shared understanding and joint decision-making.
The Therapeutic Specialist works within a defined clinical governance framework that ensures fidelity to the therapeutic model, promotes continuous quality improvement, and upholds all legislative, programmatic and ethical obligations. Through strong collaboration, cultural responsiveness, and clinical expertise, the role contributes to placement stability, trauma recovery, and improved long-term outcomes for children and young people in care.
