Case Manager

The Salvation Army is a Christian movement and one of Australia's largest and most-loved charities. We believe in doing good that transforms lives and futures for the better. It is this belief which drives us to find new ways and places where we can make a difference. From times of personal crisis to moments of national grief, we are always here - providing support, safety, community, and opportunity.

At The Salvation Army, we believe everyone deserves a safe place to call home.

As a Case Manager in Intensive Case Management Initiative (ICMI), you'll work closely with clients through outreach and intensive support sessions, delivering holistic case management that responds to their unique circumstances, vulnerabilities, and aspirations. You'll develop tailored case and safety plans, coordinate access to specialist services, advocate on behalf of clients, and provide practical support to help people achieve stable housing outcomes. Reporting to the Team Leader, this is a permanent full-time opportunity, based on-site in Leongatha, VIC.
