Case Manager – Housing Support Program
Maximum term contract until 31 December 2027
Full-time | Darwin, NT
SCHADS Level 4
Why this role matters
This role offers the chance to walk alongside people who are working to rebuild stability, safety and connection in their lives. Many participants face challenges such as homelessness, mental health concerns, AOD use, justice involvement and social isolation. As a Case Manager, you help create a supportive environment where people feel heard, respected and empowered to pursue their own goals.
Your presence matters. Your encouragement matters. Every appointment attended, every moment of reassurance and every step taken together helps someone feel more confident, more connected and more hopeful about their future. This is meaningful, human‑centred work that genuinely changes lives.
About the role
You will provide case management support to participants in the Housing Support Program, working collaboratively to develop case plans that reflect each person’s strengths, needs and self‑determined goals. You will assist participants to attend appointments, build capacity, access community supports and engage with TSA programs such as Towards Independence and Doorways.
An important component of this role is providing outreach case management support to clients in their private/public housing. This requires strong situational awareness, sound risk assessment and safety practices, and effective time-management skills when working independently outside the office.
This role also involves completing intake and assessment, maintaining accurate records, responding to potential risks, and advocating for participants with government and non‑government agencies. You will contribute to a culturally safe, trauma‑informed and inclusive service environment that supports people with low to mild mental health needs and occasional periods of higher intensity support.
This maximum term position is contracted until 31 December 2027 and sits within the Homelessness team, reporting to the Supported Housing Senior Team Leader. Pay is in accordance with a SCHADS Level 4.
