South East Community Links operates in one of Melbourne’s highest multicultural areas. A core aim of our organisation is to promote cultural diversity and inclusion. This includes working to reduce narrow stereotypes and discrimination as well as working to promote and advocate for equality and opportunities for all.
SECL delivers a wide range of services to meet the needs of people in our community including emergency relief, case work, housing support, youth and family services, financial counselling and resettlement services for refugees and asylum seekers.
The Youth Housing Practitioner will be responsible for providing high quality responses to people experiencing a range of complex issues resulting in increased vulnerabilities to becoming homeless.
Core requirements for this role are highly developed skills in participant assessment, engagement, and case management. SECL places a high value on integrated service delivery, where collaboration with other staff and programs ensures best outcomes for our individual participants and communities. A demonstrated ability, and willingness, to work closely with other staff for the benefit of participants will be a critical skill.
This role requires IT skills to ensure service and participant data/information is recorded accurately and, in a time, efficient manner. An ability to identify service trends, and emerging needs, through front line service delivery is also a requirement. This role focusses on the achievement of outcomes for participants and communities rather than activities.
This role also consists of contributing to the development and integration of the Bridge framework across SECL. The Bridge is an internationally recognised framework for empowering participants to social and economic mobility through integrated service delivery and coaching techniques. The role will also be involved in closely documenting and evaluating the Bridge through an Outcomes measurement framework.
Time management, flexibility and a strong ability to prioritize in a fast paced environment are critical skills in this role. SECL operates in a changing environment that will require timely responses to emerging social and economic trends impacting on our participant community, and the Bridge will require ongoing improvements as the Bridge model is integrated across SECL. An ability to manage oneself in times of change and uncertainty is essential.
