The role supports people to establish and sustain safe, stable housing, remain independent and age in place, with additional supports introduced as needed. Through Wintringham’s Sustaining Tenancies approach, the role promotes long-term housing stability through early intervention, coordinated support and strong partnerships across housing, health, aged care and community services.

Strong understanding of homelessness, housing support, and broader community service systems, including contemporary practice approaches and person-centred service delivery.
Extensive experience supporting people with complex needs to maintain stable housing and age in place, through proactive risk identification and management, coordinated support and crisis responses, comprehensive assessment and care planning, cross-service collaboration, and the provision of expert guidance to support informed decision-making.
Demonstrated experience managing quality, compliance and risk, including contractual obligations, legislative requirements, incident management, and continuous improvement processes.
