About the opportunity:
The Better Health and Housing Program (BHHP) supports individuals with health issues who are experiencing chronic homelessness. For the majority of residents using the BHHP, the duration of stay is six months. The BHHP allows residents to stabilise their health and be part of a vibrant and supportive community with a focus on enhancing living skills, social connection and participation. The program will support participants to improve their health and wellbeing, whilst working towards long-term accommodation. The BHHP runs in partnership with St Vincent Hospital Melbourne and Brotherhood of St Laurence.
This position is based at Launch Housing Sumner House facility in Fitzroy. Case Managers provide direct, practical support to clients living in the BHHP. A key focus of the role is assisting clients to access safe, affordable, and sustainable housing from which they can recover and participate in their chosen communities and networks. This is done in collaboration with our partner organisation St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne.
The service is delivered primarily on site and achieved by building a purposeful, therapeutic relationship and providing support in a practical and comprehensive way, including a recovery-based case plan. Outreach support may be provided.
Maximum-term, part-time role (68.4 hours per fortnight) based at Sumner House, ending January 2027.
