This role must also support individuals to successfully complete their court orders, while balancing risks to community safety.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Manage a caseload of predominately complex and high-risk individuals
  • Motivate and influence staff in best case management practice
  • Produce written reports with appropriate analysis and recommendations to senior stakeholders
  • Apply sound judgement in the identification and assessment of individual risk
  • Develop and maintain relationships with cross-government and community-based stakeholders

About you:

  • Demonstrated experience and knowledge of best practice case management frameworks including managing clients with complex presentations and conducting risk and needs assessments in a human services context.
  • Ability to implement theoretical concepts to reduce risk and maximise individual outcomes.
  • Demonstrated understanding and capability in leading, managing and developing staff responsible for operational service delivery
