Fostering a diverse and inclusive culture is at the heart of everything we do and getting it right goes hand in hand with living our organisational values and our purpose of making possibilities a reality.
Make an Impact
We have an exciting opportunity for a Youth Disability Case Manager to join our team in South Brisbane and support young people engaged with the child protection system who have disabilities, in 24/7 Supported Independent Living. Balancing youth work and disability care, you will create safe, nurturing environments that empower young people to achieve their goals.
Using person-centred, trauma-informed practices, you will foster emotional, social, and cultural wellbeing. You will develop and oversee Individualised Support Plans, ensuring young people remain at the core. Leading a small team, you will guide staff, coordinate with stakeholders, and promote team cohesion. With a passion for positive change, you will help young people build independence as they transition to adulthood.
Other key duties will include:

Develop and review Individualised Support Plans (ISPs) for young people, empowering them to lead their lives and achieve their goals.
