About the role:
In the MST-Psych model the Crisis Case Manager takes on the bulk of the practical case management needs for the team. This is to enable the therapists to focus on carrying out the multiple, intensive clinical interventions that form the evidenced based model. Each therapist has a case load of 4 families, and the therapeutic intervention lasts for 4-7 months, averaging 6 months.
The Crisis Case Manager also assists therapists carry out interventions in the homes and communities once the therapist and family members have developed and practiced the interventions.
The position will work with therapists in situations that require a second clinician either to increase clinician safety or to help the therapist in working with families experiencing high clinical needs.
This is a Permanent Full-Time opportunity based across the South & the East (South Melbourne, Dandenong & Forest Hill) within our Family Preservation and Reunification (FPRR) / Clinical Services program. The position reports to the FPRR MSTP Supervisor.
