Footscray, Victoria, Australia Unison Housing Ltd Full time $60,000 - $120,000 per year

This is a full-time, ongoing position under SCHADS Level 4 with a salary of approximately $90k per annum (plus super and leave loading).

About Unison

Unison is a for-purpose organisation that works to reduce disadvantage and social exclusion for over 3,500 people who need social or affordable housing, or who are homeless or at risk of homelessness each year. We believe that housing is the foundation on which to build a life of value but that a good life takes more than just housing - it takes place in a community. We're also committed to building a thriving community internally for the people that work with us. We're proud to offer contemporary people programs and benefits in line with our values, and we're certified as a Great Place to Work.

About the role

Are you passionate about creating lasting change in people's lives? Join Unison's Transitional Housing Program as a Place Manager and be the driving force behind helping individuals move from temporary housing to long-term stability. Based primarily in Melbourne's vibrant Western suburbs, this is more than just a job—it's a chance to be part of something truly meaningful.

As a Place Manager, you'll work alongside stakeholders and external agencies, to support the journey between a renter, their property and their future. You'll play a pivotal role in:

  • Building strong, respectful relationships with renters and support workers
  • Ensuring housing needs are met with compassion and efficiency
  • Navigating tenancy management in line with the Residential Tenancies Act and other key legislation

Your work will directly support people with complex backgrounds and diverse needs—so empathy, resilience, and people skills are essential.

What we are looking for

You might come from a social housing or tenancy background—or you might bring lived experience and a natural ability to connect, support, and advocate. If you're someone who thrives in a dynamic, purpose-driven environment and believes in housing as a human right, we want to hear from you.

Why join us?

Unison is proud to offer a supportive, inclusive workplace with benefits that go beyond the basics:

  • Rostered days off to recharge
  • Generous salary packaging
  • Five weeks of annual leave + 17.5% leave loading
  • 18 days of personal leave
  • Employer-paid parental leave
  • Access to wellbeing and professional development programs

We're committed to being an employer of choice—and to helping you thrive while you help others do the same.
