Restoring Families Case Manager

About the role:

The Case Manager takes on the bulk of the practical case management needs for the team. This is to enable the therapists to focus on carrying out the multiple, intensive clinical interventions that form the evidenced based model. Each therapist has a case load of 4-6 families, and the therapeutic intervention lasts between 4 to 7 months.

The Case Manager also assists therapists carry out interventions in the homes and communities once the therapist and family members have developed and practiced the interventions.

The Case Manager will support therapists in situations that require a second clinician either to increase clinician safety or to help the therapist in working with families experiencing high clinical needs.

This is a Full-Time opportunity based in South Melbourne within our Restoring Families program. The position reports to the MST Supervisor.
