Therapeutic Community Model Aranda House is a registered Therapeutic Community (TC) – a structured, participative workplace 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.

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 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.

In this role, you will:





Guide residents through their daily program, from morning handover to evening wind-down

Design and deliver individual treatment and relapse prevention plans

Manage resident intake, induction, and ongoing case reviews

Facilitate group therapy, community meetings, and cultural programs

Keep case notes sharp and support residents with practical next steps like housing and job applications

Work closely with the Service Manager, the Meth Outreach Team and DASA’s Aboriginal Outreach Team

Join the on‑call roster (roughly one week every two months) – with paid call‑outs

You’ll be set up to succeed from day one, shadowing experienced case managers and receiving cultural training within your first three months.
