Therapeutic Community Model
n
Aranda House is a registered Therapeutic Community (TC) – a structured, participative environment where residents take an active role in their own recovery. Think collaborative, peer-supported healing through group therapy, community meetings, and shared responsibility, rather than one-on-one counselling alone.
n
If you're new to the TC model, know this: it's hands-on. You'll be engaging in community-driven recovery activities alongside residents, not just supporting from the sidelines.
About the Opportunity
n
We're looking for two dedicated Case Managers to join our close-knit team at Aranda House. You'll show up for residents day after day – guiding them through recovery, building genuine relationships, and helping them build the life skills and relapse prevention plans they need to thrive independently.
n
In this role, you will:
n
n




Guide residents through their daily program, from morning handover to evening wind-down
n
Design and deliver individual treatment and relapse prevention plans
n
Manage resident intake, induction, and ongoing case reviews
n
Facilitate group therapy, community meetings, and cultural programs
n
Keep case notes sharp and support residents with practical next steps like housing and job applications
n
Work closely with the Service Manager, the Meth Outreach Team and DASA's Aboriginal Outreach Team
n
Join the on-call roster (roughly one week every two months) – with paid call-outs
n
n
You'll be set up to succeed from day one, shadowing experienced case managers and receiving cultural training within your first three months.
