Every day of the year,
Sacred Heart Mission assists hundreds of people who are experiencing homelessness or disadvantage to find shelter, food, care and support.
This is what we asked our staff in the lead up to the federal election, in a time when homelessness has reached crisis point in Australia.

Your future workplace
Every day of the year, Sacred Heart Mission assist hundreds of people who are experiencing homelessness or living in poverty to find shelter, food, care and support. We are in this for the long haul - we are committed to making a sustainable difference in people’s lives. Everyone is welcome at our table.
Sacred Heart Mission is fortunate to be able to assist even more people due to an increase in the number of services being provided across the Mission. This, as well as a major redevelopment project – Project 101 – provides a significant opportunity for you to hone your facility management skills and provide the vital support the organisation needs to continue to operate.
Your new role
Working full-time, you will be joining a dedicated, fun-loving team comprised of both permanent full- time staff and contractors who provide the necessary support to the service delivery teams through the provision of suitable facilities in which they operate. While your primary responsibility will be ensuring that our facilities are both safe and welcoming for our staff, volunteers and residents, you will also have a supervisory role and will be involved with Project 101.
We're looking for someone who
- has experience in projects and contracts administration,
- is motivated by working in an environment where “giving back” is important,
- thrives in a fast paced environment,
- enjoys working with a diverse range of stakeholders at all levels of the organisation,
- prides themselves on their eye for detail and their ability to communicate,
- values autonomy and accountability, and
- has a working knowledge of Health and Safety
Look forward to
- salary packaging up to $15,990 pre-tax due to being a Not-for-Profit organisation;
- paid membership to the Facility Management Association of Australia
- opportunity to purchase additional leave
- scholarship opportunities

Your future workplace
Sacred Heart Mission's Journey to Social Inclusion (J2SI) program is an evidence-based intervention designed to break the cycle of chronic homelessness. We know the current service system is not effective and we're taking a different approach in our goal to end homelessness.
We're now beginning phase 3.2 of this ground-breaking initiative, and you'll have a direct hand in its success. Join a brand-new team of experienced staff with diverse professional backgrounds. Over a three-year journey, we will be delivering cutting-edge interventions with proven outcomes in stable housing, social inclusion and economic participation.
Your new role
The Team Leader is a full-time role designed to both provide leadership to the J2SI team and to work with a small caseload to foster the independence of our participants and support them to achieve the life they want to live. We are looking for dynamic and motivated team players who have:

- Strong experience in case management and service coordination in one or more of the following: homelessness, mental health, dual diagnosis, alcohol and other drugs
- A strength-based approach
- Resilience, flexibility and adaptability
- Creative outcome-focused attitude
Your day-to-day
While every day is different, a typical day might see you on outreach, visiting one of your many participants and linking them to appropriate services. You may then return to the office for a check-in or group reflective practice with your colleagues.
For the rest of the day, you will likely be:
- Providing high quality line supervision to 3-4 Intensive Case Managers
- Utilising our Case Management Framework to progress participant goals and ensure strong service delivery outcomes
- Working with participants to develop support plans that are holistic and contain clear, specific strategies for sustainable change
- Providing assertive and planned outreach to participants in their preferred environment
- Developing safety assessments with risk management strategies
- Service coordination with other agencies or partners
Look forward to
- 2-week program-specific orientation, starting 17 July 2019
- Annual Salary Range of $76,761 - 80,409 plus 17.5% annual leave loading
- Structurally supportive work environment: regular line manager direct supervision, 1-on-1 clinical supervision, in-house training dept, group reflective practice, team days, access to an employee assistance program
- Job security of a 3-year contract
- Salary packaging your expenses up to $15,990 pre-tax
