The program’s aim is to prevent families from entering the homelessness service system by delivering tailored, flexible support. Case Managers work in an outreach capacity with families for up to twelve months, developing and delivering case plans that respond to each family’s specific needs. A Team Case Management approach underpins the work, ensuring coordinated service delivery. The program supports families and children to strengthen community connections and, where appropriate, links them with local resources including education, training, health, employment and recreational opportunities. A strong focus is also placed on the needs of children, with Case Managers actively engaging them in educational, health and support services. Reporting to the Team Leader – Families Housing & Support, the team is based across Launch Housing’s Collingwood Hub and the South Melbourne family crisis accommodation service. The program is jointly overseen by the Team Leader and Coordinator of the Families Housing & Support area and supports families residing in the Bayside Peninsula and North-East Melbourne areas. The SFP sits within Launch Housing’s Specialist Child & Family Services, which form part of the broader Families & New Beginnings function. Maximum-term, part-time role (68.4 hours per fortnight) based at Collingwood, until end of March 2027.
