About the opportunity: The Supporting Families Program (SFP) provides intensive case management to families and children who need medium-term support to sustain safe and appropriate housing. The program's aim is to prevent families from entering the homelessness service system by delivering tailored, flexible support.
Case Managers work in an outreach capacity with families for up to twelve months, developing and delivering case plans that respond to each family's specific needs. A Team Case Management approach underpins the work, ensuring coordinated service delivery. The program supports families and children to strengthen community connections and, where appropriate, links them with local resources including education, training, health, employment and recreational opportunities. A strong focus is also placed on the needs of children, with Case Managers actively engaging them in educational, health and support services.
Reporting to the Team Leader – Families Housing & Support, the team is based across Launch Housing's Collingwood Hub and the South Melbourne family crisis accommodation service. The program is jointly overseen by the Team Leader and Coordinator of the Families Housing & Support area and supports families residing in the Bayside Peninsula and North-East Melbourne areas. The SFP sits within Launch Housing's Specialist Child & Family Services, which form part of the broader Families & New Beginnings function.

  • Engaging with clients to determine eligibility for the organisation's services and referring clients to other more relevant services if required.
  • Developing case plans in conjunction with clients and implementing strategies that enable clients to achieve their goals by building on their strengths and focussing on solutions.
  • Providing outreach-based support services to families with children to assist them to establish or maintain their housing.
  • Ensuring clients maximize all government and community income assistance and support.
  • Initiating and maintaining contact with vulnerable clients using flexible engagement strategies to achieve case plan goals.
  • Supporting families to link in with resources in the community including education, training, health, employment and recreational opportunities.
  • Working from a family-oriented case management framework, including centring the needs of children and actively engaging children with educational, health and support services. 
What we're looking for (key selection criteria):
  • Demonstrated experience in housing or case management, or a relevant tertiary qualification.
  • Ability to demonstrate cultural sensitivity and to adjust personal style in response to client differences.
  • Ability to develop and maintain positive collaborative relationships with external stakeholders to effectively enhance the support of clients.
