The posting

Transform lives, every single day

Do you want a career that means more? At Anglicare Sydney, we bring the strength, the support and the strategy to make it happen.

We're a well-respected not-for-profit that's been serving society's most vulnerable for over 170 years. Each year, we achieve life-changing outcomes for thousands of people who rely on our person-centred support. And now, we're extending our reach and impact even further.

As our Case Manager – Foster Care, you'll play an important role in supporting children and young people in out-of-home care, helping them experience safety, stability and a sense of belonging.

Based on the Central Coast or in Newcastle? This could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

This is a predominantly remote position, offering the flexibility to work from home while remaining connected to a supportive and experienced Foster Care team. You'll only be required to attend our Telopea office once per month as a minimum, with additional attendance when necessary for training, meetings or operational requirements.

You'll combine the flexibility of home-based work with meaningful face-to-face engagement with children, foster carers, birth families and local services.

Be welcomed into a compassionate, respectful and purpose-driven community where we don't just talk about values – we live them.

Your opportunity

Working within Anglicare's Foster Care service and reporting to the Foster Care Team Leader, you'll provide high-quality, child-centred case management to children and young people in out-of-home care.

You'll work closely with foster carers, birth families, the Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) and other service providers to ensure each child's safety, wellbeing, cultural identity and permanency needs are supported.

You'll also contribute to family restoration and other permanency pathways, helping children and families work towards safe, sustainable outcomes.

While you'll enjoy the autonomy of working remotely, you'll remain connected to our broader Foster Care team through regular supervision, collaboration and professional development.

Your working arrangements

This position is designed for someone living on the Central Coast or in Newcastle, who can work independently from home and undertake regular community-based visits.

You'll be required to attend our Telopea office at least one day per month, with additional attendance where required for training, case reviews, supervision or operational needs.

Regular travel across the Central Coast and, when required, other locations within NSW is an inherent part of the role.

With integrity and compassion, you will:

  • Manage foster care placements, coordinating assessments, case plans, reviews and interventions to support children's safety, wellbeing and placement stability.
  • Build positive relationships with children, young people, foster carers and birth families, providing guidance and practical support while monitoring placement needs and risks.
  • Contribute to family restoration and permanency planning, working collaboratively with families, DCJ and relevant services to achieve safe and sustainable outcomes.
  • Facilitate and monitor family time, assess children's safety and wellbeing, and prepare accurate, professional case notes, assessments and reports.
  • Work autonomously across the Central Coast and surrounding service areas while maintaining strong communication, compliance and collaboration with the broader Foster Care team.

What you'll bring

You're a compassionate, organised and resilient Case Manager who is passionate about improving outcomes for children and young people in out-of-home care.

You understand the complexities of child protection and foster care and bring the ability to build trusted relationships with children, carers, birth families and other stakeholders.

You'll have strong assessment and case planning skills, sound professional judgement and the confidence to respond effectively to complex or high-risk situations.

Importantly, you're someone who thrives with autonomy. You can manage your workload, prioritise competing demands and remain accountable while working remotely and independently in the community.

What's required

  • A degree in Social Work, Psychology, Welfare or Community Services.
  • Demonstrated case management experience in child protection, out-of-home care, family support, permanency or a related field.
  • Sound knowledge of NSW child protection legislation, OOHC practices, family restoration and permanency planning.
  • Strong assessment, case planning and professional report-writing skills, with the ability to work independently and maintain accurate client records.
  • An unrestricted NSW Driver's Licence, willingness to travel regularly and the ability to attend the Telopea office at least once per month.

The successful candidate will also be required to satisfy relevant pre-employment checks, including a Working with Children Check and National Police Check.

What's preferred

  • Experience supporting foster carers and managing complex foster care placements.
  • Experience undertaking family restoration work and collaborating with DCJ.
  • Knowledge of local services and community networks across the Central Coast and Newcastle.
  • Experience working remotely or independently in a community-based service.
  • Current First Aid Certificate.

You'll also share our organisational values of integrity, justice, compassion and excellence, embedding them in everything you do.
