Intakes and Transition Manager

At MyLife Housing and MyLife Community Housing, we believe there is no place like home. Our vision is to provide every person, including people with disabilities, with modern, purpose-built 'forever homes' in vibrant communities where they feel connected and proud. We create homes where residents can build relationships, welcome family and friends, and enjoy easy access to transport, shops and essential services.

We enjoy working with team members who share our passion for creating genuine, lasting homes – people who understand that a home should offer comfort, security and independence while respecting each resident's privacy. As part of our team, you play a vital role in supporting residents to live with dignity, confidence and happiness in a place they truly call home - for life.
