Mental Health Worker

Support Worker - Tenancy

Helen’s Place

Full-time

$76,617 - $82,167 + super + salary packaging

The need-to-know…

In this role, you will support clients within the Independent Living Program (ILP) across the Swan and Northam regions. Using a recovery-focused approach, you will assist up to 78 clients living with severe and persistent mental health conditions to maintain stable housing and sustain their tenancies.

This is a varied role combining outreach and office-based work, with most time spent in clients' homes and the community. A hybrid work arrangement may be available once you are established in the role.

The ILP program is funded by the Mental Health Commission, with support tailored to individual client needs, ranging from low to high intensity. You will work closely with the Rise Property Team, clinical services, and broader support networks to provide coordinated, wrap-around support as clients transition from homelessness or housing instability into social housing.

It's a highly rewarding position, where you will provide vital tenancy support to vulnerable clients, alongside case management, advocacy, and referrals to appropriate services.

The need-to-have…

Here at Rise, we nurture potential, however those with the following quals and/or experience are encouraged to apply:

• Demonstrated case management experience within the housing and homelessness sector
• Ability to conduct and review risk assessments and develop effective support plans
• Sound understanding of current housing models, including social housing and tenancy support
• Strong administrative skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel

Formalities (The serious stuff!)

Appointments to this position require a NDIS worker screening check and working with children check. Costs for new checks will be covered and/or reimbursed by Rise.

Additionally, candidates must hold a current driver's licence with own vehicle to use for work purposes (paid KM's for use of personal car).

A cover letter is requested within your application for this position. Applications without a cover letter will not be considered. Within your letter, please address the following criteria:

• One example of supporting someone to maintain housing
• One example of your ability to respond to complex situations

We value authentic, experience based responses. Please ensure your cover letter reflects your own skills and personal examples from your work history. AI generated responses will not be considered and may result in disqualification from the application process.
