Peplow House facility has 8 beds and provides outreach to 3 placements at any one time within the crisis supported activity.

This activity provides short-term crisis accommodation for up to 6 weeks for single men aged 18 years and over up to primarily 64 years, who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Staff aim to assist clients to secure long-term stable accommodation and link with appropriate community and health services.

The Program works holistically with the client to obtain accommodation and reduce the risk of recurring homelessness.

Staff assess housing needs and access to long-term accommodation; identify health and social issues that impact on accommodation options and assist in accessing specialist services; provide advocacy for securing accommodation; and strengthen living and coping skills and emotional and social wellbeing.


Specifically, the position is responsible for:

  • Providing a high quality and flexible service to clients assisting them to find stable accommodation and links to appropriate community supports and health services.
  • Working with adult men aged 18 years and over who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
  • Performing solo weekend and night shift duties for Peplow House Program.
  • Assisting with all aspects of the daytoday operations of the Peplow House program and facility.

To be considered for this position, applicants require:

  • Certificate IV in Community Services or other Welfare or related field.
  • Experience working and communicating effectively (both verbal and written) with people who are experiencing crisis and with complex and/or comorbid issues, and the ability to respond to these clients' needs.
  • Knowledge and/or experience of the homelessness sector.
  • Capacity to meet shift work requirements.
  • As a condition of employment, CatholicCare Victoria as an employer will collect, record and store vaccination information on employees where required in line with the Privacy Act. All CatholicCare Victoria workers are to be fully vaccinated (boosted), unless they are an Excepted Person for medical reasons. All applicants must therefore be able to comply with this requirement. This means that successful applicants will be required to provide evidence of their vaccination status to CatholicCare Victoria prior to commencement of employment._
