Are you experienced in providing wholistic trauma informed care? Want to make a positive impact in reducing homelessness?

Our Reintegration Housing Support Program (RHSP) is seeking a passionate and caring case worker to join our team.

As a Transition Case Worker, you will use holistic case management to provide specialist reintegration housing and transitional support for people with complex needs who are leaving NSW Correctional Centres. You will use a through-care model, which focusses on client support, and creating client community connections.

Be part of our team!

CRC is a well-established community-based agency, providing support programs that aim to break entrenched cycles of disadvantage, homelessness, and imprisonment. Our work can sometimes be challenging, but the rewards are significant. You will join a dedicated, energetic team with a culture of flexibility, trust, integrity, and respect.

To join us, you’ll need:

• Experience in the provision of trauma-informed care
• Experience working with complex and compounding needs such as homelessness, criminal justice system involvement, alcohol and other drug use, mental health issues and experiences of trauma
• A current NSW driver’s licence
• A current NSW Working with Children Check and Criminal Record Check (please note, a criminal record is not a barrier to being considered for a role with CRC. However, this position requires a criminal record check as part of seeking access to prisons as an Authorised Visitor)

Do you have the skills, positivity, and work ethic to match our amazing team?

Why we're requesting police checks for this role

We request these checks as they are a requirement of the funding contract covering this position. Additionally, anyone entering a correctional centre must undertake a criminal records check to gain authority to enter.

Please note, however, that having a criminal record is not a barrier to being considered for a role with CRC.
