Public Guardian Contract where you get to make a difference
 
At ACM, we're proud to partner with organisations that genuinely make a difference in people's lives. Right now, we're looking for a Guardian to join a dedicated team delivering Guardianship services across New South Wales on a contract role.
 
This is more than a role - it's a chance to use your experience in Case Management or Social Work to really make a difference. You'll advocate for the rights and wellbeing of people with disabilities, influence systems for better outcomes, and provide guidance and support in a meaningful and rewarding field.
 
About the Role
As a Guardian, you'll be supporting some of the most vulnerable people in our community. You'll manage guardianship matters, make decisions in line with legislation, and mentor staff - all while acting with empathy, integrity, and respect.

You can be based in Wollongong, Gosford, Newcastle, Sydney, or Parramatta, and a hybrid working model may be available depending on your experience.
 
What You'll Be Doing

• Develop and implement decision-making plans that support the best outcomes for people under guardianship
• Prepare reports, submissions, and recommendations for senior officers, NCAT, and the Public Guardian
• Make decisions using your delegated authority in line with legislation and organisational standards
• Supervise and support Guardians and support staff, approving reports and providing advice
• Work closely with families, carers, medical professionals, and service providers on complex cases
• Conduct visits to understand local services and community supports
• Engage in systemic advocacy to improve guardianship services

What You'll Bring

• Experience in Case Management, Social Work, disability services, or a related field
• A solid understanding of the Guardianship Act and principles of supported decision-making
• Strong analytical, reporting, and case management skills
• Excellent interpersonal skills to work collaboratively and compassionately with a variety of stakeholders
• Confidence in guiding others through complex and sensitive situations

Why Join This Team?
You'll be part of a supportive, values-driven team that empowers people and drives positive change. Your knowledge and experience will be respected, your input will be valued, and your work will have a real impact on people's lives.
