Make a Real Impact in Community Safety. Join Community Correctional Services (CCS) as an Advanced Practitioner
At Community Correctional Services (CCS), we work every day to reduce reoffending and support safer communities. Through evidence-based case management and rehabilitation, we help individuals address the underlying causes of their offending and create meaningful change in their lives.
We manage people on community-based court orders, post-sentence supervision, and parole. Our focus is on providing the structure, accountability, and support needed for successful reintegration into the community.
About the Role
As an Advanced Practitioner, you'll manage a caseload of predominantly complex and high-risk individuals sentenced to Community Correction Orders. Your role combines risk assessment, planning, intervention, and behaviour change work - all within a strong compliance and public safety framework.
You will also have the opportunity to lead and mentor a small team of Case Managers and Case Officers, contributing to the professional development of others and the overall performance of your team.
There may be some travel required occasionally to support our teams within the South East Metro Region.
Why This Work Matters
We believe that community-based rehabilitation, when safe and appropriate, is one of the most effective ways to reduce reoffending. As an Advanced Practitioner, you'll:
Hear people's stories and understand their perspectives
Hold individuals accountable and support them to change
Help people reconnect with their community
Be part of giving someone a second chance
Your work will directly contribute to community safety, and no two days will be the same.
What You'll Do
Conduct risk and needs assessments
Develop case plans and write high-quality reports
Coordinate services and care teams
Deliver targeted interventions to address offending behaviour
Support individuals to meet court order obligations
Mentor, lead, and develop case management staff
Who We're Looking For
Whether you're already working in justice, social work, mental health, or a related field - or ready to take the next step in your CCS career - we want to hear from you.
We're looking for people who have:
Strong experience in case management with complex clients
Confidence, flexibility and communication skills to manage challenging behaviours
A commitment to rehabilitation and accountability
The ability to lead, support, and motivate a team
A genuine drive to contribute to community safety
What You'll Get
A fair and competitive salary, with annual increases under the VPS Agreement
Generous leave entitlements and flexible work options
A clear and transparent career development framework
Ongoing training, professional development, and pathways to promotion
Access to employee wellbeing support
Salary packaging options and discounted health insurance
You'll be supported with a structured onboarding and ongoing guidance throughout your career with CCS.
