As our Housing Support and Linkages Practitioner, you will play a vital role in supporting adults, families and individuals to navigate complex challenges, reconnect with their community, and access the supports they need to thrive.
Working within Brophy’s Housing Support and Linkages team, you will provide strengths-based, trauma-informed support through assertive outreach, case management, advocacy and collaborative partnerships. You will work alongside people experiencing homelessness, rough sleeping, housing instability, or challenges maintaining their tenancy, supporting them to identify their goals, build on their strengths and take steps towards greater stability and wellbeing.
No two days will look the same. You might be connecting someone with housing pathways, supporting access to health and wellbeing services, coordinating a network of supports, providing practical assistance during a crisis, or working alongside community partners to create better outcomes for the people we support.
This full time, ongoing role is about more than providing a service, it’s about building trust, creating opportunities and ensuring people feel seen, heard and supported. You will work as part of a passionate multidisciplinary team, partnering with housing providers, health services, community organisations and other stakeholders to deliver coordinated, person-centred support.
If you are passionate about social justice, believe everyone has the capacity to create positive change in their lives, and are motivated by helping people overcome barriers and achieve their goals, this could be the role for you.
Brophy Family & Youth Services has supported children, young people, families, and the southwest Victorian community for almost 50 years. We live here; this is our community; we believe in people and in their ability to create the life they want.
At Brophy, you will join a team of just over 170 employees delivering over 40 programs and services across areas including youth engagement, mental health, family violence, foster care, housing support, employment support, and disability services.
