The IYHH provides young people aged 12 to 25 years and their families/carers with improved access to primary health care, community and social services, service coordination and integration.

Young people who are at-risk, disadvantaged and with complex needs are a priority for service access, specifically young people with mental ill-health are well supported.

You will:

  • Deliver high quality, inclusive and flexible outreach based case management services including: client engagement, intake and assessment, case plan, intervention, review and case closure;

  • Participate and deliver effective work processes to ensure the delivery of program throughput and outputs, and KPI's.
  • Be provided with a laptop and mobile phone
  • Be paid under the SCHADs Award level 6

  • A minimum Bachelor qualification in Social Work or a related Health Sciences degree
  • Demonstrated experience in the direct delivery of case management services, specifically targeting clients with high vulnerability and mental health issues
  • A valid and current Victorian driver's licence and access to own vehicle (preference)
