We are seeking an enthusiastic and experienced individual to join a passionate team working with young people transitioning from care to adulthood.
Better Futures is a part of the broader Leaving Care response provided to young people who are or were in Out-of-Home Care funded by the Department of Families, Fairness, and Housing (DFFH).

The Better Futures Case Worker will work alongside young people and their care teams early in their transition from care to identify their goals and aspirations as they move into adulthood and develop and implement detailed plans to achieve them.
Young people are provided with levels of support that flex up and down according to their needs, existing support networks and the transition goals they have identified.
The role offers support and referrals to specialist services across Advantage Thinking's five service offerings: Housing, Health and well-being, Education, Employment, and Community and Cultural Connections.
