LCAS/CADC CLINICIAN
Do you have a passion for families and children? Do you want to support local families dealing with the challenges related to parental substance abuse? This could be the career for you! At The SPARC Foundation, we provide education and support in order to keep people out of institutional care. We collaborate with local Departments of Health and Human Services, schools, mental health and substance abuse providers and local non-profits in order to create a safer community and healthier families.

The SPARC Foundation seeks a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS) or Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) with a background in family systems work to provide home-based treatment services to families engaged with the Department of Social Services. Parental substance abuse continues to be a leading factor in DSS involvement, which often results in children being removed from their homes. We believe families want and deserve to be together, but poverty, addiction, isolation, poor role models have led many families into dysfunction. SPARC is a licensed agency providing Family Centered Treatment (FCT) which focuses on 6 Areas of Family Functioning and with the goal to retain children in the home or reunite families.
This clinician will meet with families in their homes following the Family Centered Treatment protocol which guides the family through four phases of treatment: Joining & Assessing, Restructuring, Valuing Changes, Generalization.
Substance abuse treatment will incorporate the structured interventions that are already a core aspect of FCT. Families will be guided to interact with each other in new and different ways with the target of addressing the substance use and/or the family functioning that is “keeping the substance use alive” in their relationship/response patterns. A Peer Support Specialist provides direct recovery support, including WRAP.
FCT clinicians must complete an intensive training program and work with some of the most challenging and complex client systems. FCT clinicians are required to work with the entire family system and address problematic Areas of Family Functioning as outlined in the FCT Model.
Our ideal candidate will:
Be fully OR provisionally licensed as an LCAS OR have a CADC and a minimum of a Bachelor's degree in a Human Services field
Have a minimum of 1 year experience providing In-Home services
Have experience providing trauma-informed services
Be flexible and creative

Work to Keep People Out of Institutional Care
