About the Program
CatholicCare NT (CCNT) implements a case‐management approach to break the cycle of homelessness through empowering clients to effectively problem‐solve and manage their accommodation. CCNT uses an early intervention approach that supports individual clients to regain control of their circumstances including housing, financial, and social and community issues that place them at risk of homelessness. Through assertive case management we provide participants with support to address the multifaceted challenges they face in maintaining their home. This support may be through assessment of life skills, role modeling, referral to specialist agencies as required, coordination of supports, and advocacy with internal and external agencies.
About the Role
The Housing Support Case Worker is responsible for providing intensive case management, education and support to participants of CCNT's Housing Support program to meet its objectives. This position will focus on a stepped model of care in core areas, supporting participants in transitional housing and those in need of tenancy support in public housing. A person‐centred, coordinated model of care is applied to ensure that participants receive targeted support according to need.
