Case Manager – Open House
Alice Springs, NT | Full Time | SCHADS Level 4
Why this role matters
Homelessness in Central Australia is shaped by complex social, cultural and structural realities. Many people experience unstable housing alongside mental health challenges, alcohol and other drug concerns and involvement with the justice system. Access to consistent support can be limited, and the work of our frontline teams truly matters.
As a Case Manager at Open House, you will walk alongside men referred through the justice system, including those on bail or parole, helping them stabilise, meet their conditions and work towards long term housing and wellbeing goals. You will create a safe, structured and supportive environment where participants feel respected, understood and empowered. Your work directly contributes to improved outcomes for individuals and strengthens the broader community.
If you are someone who leads with compassion, values cultural safety and thrives in hands-on support work, this role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in Central Australia.

You will provide case management to participants living in the Men’s Open House supported accommodation program. Working closely with the Team Leader and a multidisciplinary team, you will undertake intake and assessment, develop collaborative case plans and support participants to achieve self-determined goals.
Your role includes advocating for clients, assisting them to access services, supporting appointments and maintaining accurate records in line with TSA standards.
