Housing & Homelessness Services (Community Services & Development)

WUNGENING ABORIGINAL CORPORATION - Healing Mind, Body & Spirit

WA’s most progressive Aboriginal Corporation is seeking an experienced person to fill the role of Manager for our Housing & Homelessness programs. 

ABORIGINAL AND TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER PEOPLE ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO APPLY.


Our organisation is committed to protecting children and young people from harm. We require all applicants to undergo an extensive screening process prior to appointment.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Reporting to the General Manager Programs (AOD, Justice, Housing), This is an exciting role for an experienced manager with a passion for culturally led service responses, innovation, and ensuring people who are rough sleeping in Perth, are supported to find and maintain accommodation. Above all, it is an opportunity to support a new and inclusive model of service delivery for people who are rough sleeping in Perth, especially, Aboriginal people.

Working in partnership with key internal and external stakeholders, this position will support Wungening in developing and implementing an exciting new range of services, further enabling our ability to build a healthy safe, strong, and sustainable Aboriginal Community.

These services are across two exciting streams of service delivery:

  • Housing First Services
  • Homelessness Hostel

Housing First Services

Wungening has successfully partnered in three consortia models to deliver housing-first services. These programs are part of the Department of Communities Housing First Homelessness Initiative which is a key commitment of the ‘All Paths Lead to a Home’ ten year strategy to end homelessness from the Department of Communities.

  • Aboriginal Housing First Homelessness Initiative (5 years with Noongar Mia and Ngalla Mia)
  • Housing First Homelessness Initiative (5 years with Ruah, St Pat’s)

Homelessness Hostel

Wungening and Noongar Mia Mia are working in partnership to deliver a homelessness hostel as a direct response to the current homelessness crisis, e.g. Tent City, on behalf of the Department of Communities.

The project to deliver this hostel is well underway, and the Manager Housing and Homelessness, will support the partnership to acquire, develop, and deliver a new, innovative, inclusive, and culturally led model of service to the people experiencing rough sleeping in Perth.

The Manager Housing and Homelessness needs to be a strong communicator, supporting the sector and external bodies, to have confidence in the partnership and service model. The role will build relationships with the key internal and external stakeholders, key agencies in the sector as well as funding bodies, and put a structure in place to ensure quality, safety, and culturally appropriate delivery of these services.

This role will play a crucial part in the progression of Wungening’s strategy to become a key player in Housing and Homelessness, supporting Aboriginal people to have the access they need and deserve.
