Case Manager

• Rewarding work & flexible working environment
• Competitive hourly rate and NFP salary packaging
• Ongoing training and support
• Be a key player within a passionate care team, delivering support to some of our region's most vulnerable and their families

We are an outreach service of St John's Anglican Church, in partnership with Anglicare, supported by other parishes and the Canberra community. We seek to respond to human need by offering emergency relief, support and other programs to those who struggle with issues of low income and social disadvantage.

Case Management is a delicate balancing act - and you bring the skills and experience to excel in your chosen field, while still managing a healthy work life balance.

After all, you are empathetic; that's a given. As an experienced Case Manager, you know empowering people to achieve their goals and live well can be professionally and personally challenging, but you wouldn't have it any other way. You know there's nothing more rewarding.

We are looking for someone like you, who shares our vision and values, and wants to join our St John's Care community.

About the role

The Case Manager is responsible for all aspects of the case management program and is responsible to ensure the safety, wellbeing, and positive service for all our clients.

You'll love this opportunity to draw upon your knowledge-base and training in equal measure, as you:

• Develop relationships and network with our Canberra and surrounds service providers.
• Follow case management principles and procedures to work in collaboration with clients.
• Enable clients to manage and where possible overcome the difficulties of their life situations

Who are we looking for?

A person with skills and experience in crisis intervention, trauma and the impact of long-term economic hardship, unemployment and underemployment and the resulting social disadvantage. High level communication skills, commitment to social justice and skilled cultural awareness are essential.

You will also need at a minimum a diploma qualification in Community Services or a related discipline.

You will need to be able to work autonomously or under limited supervision, respecting the trusting relationship you have with both within the St John's Care Team and the broader St John's church community.

What's in it for you?

In exchange for your hard work, you'll be richly rewarded. As a staff member of St John's Care employed on an Anglicare Contract your rate of pay is competitive and you'll enjoy generous salary packaging benefits which are available under Anglicare's PBI status. Other benefits including additional personal leave and paid parental leave. You will be a part of a vibrant, valued and respected outreach service of the Anglican Parish of St John's, Reid.

But most of all, you'll be making a difference: a real, solid, tangible, positive change to the lives of the many in our community who are facing economic hardship, isolation and social disadvantage.
