Your opportunity
Join a brand-new Supported Temporary Accommodation service in Coffs Harbour and be part of something genuinely transformative. This is your chance to help shape an innovative, integrated model that is redefining how people experiencing homelessness are supported to find and sustain safe, stable housing.
As a Case Manager, you will play a hands-on role in supporting participants to set meaningful goals, build practical pathways forward, and achieve lasting housing and wellbeing outcomes. You’ll work alongside people at pivotal moments in their lives, helping them navigate challenges, connect with services, and move toward greater independence.
You’ll be part of a passionate multidisciplinary team, including Housing Pathways Specialists and Lived Experience Intake Workers, all working together to build a new service from the ground up and create real, lasting impact in the community.
We have two permanent full-time roles available, working a rotating fortnightly roster between 8:00 am–4:00 pm and 12:00 pm–8:00 pm, Monday to Friday. Applicants must be available for both shifts.
Your key responsibilities will be to:
Deliver person-centred case management and support to individuals experiencing homelessness or housing instability.
Develop, implement, and review tailored support plans that promote sustainable housing, wellbeing, and independence.

Support participants to build skills, navigate services, and achieve their individual goals.
Collaborate with tenancy management and key stakeholders to deliver an integrated housing and support service.
Maintain accurate client records and respond to wellbeing, safety, and risk concerns in line with organisational requirements.
Requirements for success
