Northbridge, Australia Ruah Full time

Ruah aims to promote measures to achieve equality. Section 51 of the Equal opportunity Act applies to this role._

About the role:
We have an opportunity to work as a Support Worker in the Wongee Mia team. The position will work full-time, 38 hours per week.

Our Wongee Mia service model focuses on ensuring people who are sleeping rough are linked into appropriate services to help them find and maintain suitable long-term accommodation. Wongee Mia has four key functions:

- Wongee Mia works with a single extended Aboriginal family.
- The family have experienced intergenerational homelessness and poverty, with many of them sleeping rough or without stable accommodation for years.
- It aims to break the cycle of evictions resulting from overcrowding and anti-social behaviour which reflect the large number of family members who are homeless and who rely on those who are housed for shelter.
- The program grew from a single housed individual and expanded its caseload to include those family members who put his tenancy at risk. The aim was to address homelessness in the wider family, identifying them as people in need rather than seeing them as a “problem”. This has developed into a close working relationship across a large, interconnected family (both housed and homeless) with strong connections to family Elders for advice and guidance.

The role provides support, engagement, and assertive support, interventions to clients to assist them in improving their mental health, general health, and social wellbeing, accessing, and maintaining housing, improving their quality of life, maximising self-management, independence, and participation in the community.

Please refer to the position description for further details.

This position will be at a level 2 of the SCHADS award which starts at $63,851 per annum depending on experience, in addition to all our other fantastic benefits.
