Initial Assessment - Antigonish - Vinnies Victoria
Description
Remuneration and Term
Overview
VincentCare Victoria is an award-winning organisation established to provide a range of accommodation and support services to people that are facing disadvantage throughout metropolitan and regional Victoria.
Our aspiration is to be the leader in providing care, hope and advocacy for those facing disadvantage. Our purpose is to create opportunities and lasting change for the most marginalised. VincentCare is well equipped to provide a continuum of services that effectively meet the needs of people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
Little Bit About The Role
VincentCare's Access Point, located within the Northern Community Hub, provides a drop-in service for people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness.
The role sits within the Initial Assessment and Planning (IAP) team, which is responsible for triage, assessment, and supporting access to services across the Homelessness Service System.
The IAP Worker is often the first point of contact, delivering timely assessment, information, and planning tailored to each client's needs and choices. Working in a fast-paced environment with high daily demand, the role requires strong communication, interpersonal, and organisational skills, along with the ability to manage competing priorities.
Key responsibilities include crisis intervention, assessment, advocacy, referral to housing and support services, and the use of the Housing Establishment Fund (HEF) to provide financial assistance where appropriate. The role requires a strong understanding of the homelessness system and a trauma-informed, client-centred approach, particularly when working with people who have experienced complex trauma.
The IAP Worker works collaboratively with colleagues, external services, and community partners in line with the VincentCare Recovery Model. The role supports clients to navigate service systems and explore housing options, while ensuring accurate record keeping, compliance with relevant frameworks, and contribution to continuous service improvement.
