As a Social Supporter you will be assisting people with a disability as they have fun in their community.

You will be helping out our support workers and will receive supervision and training.

Initially, all Social Supporters start with the Teen Life program activities  which start from our Bankstown headquarters and are accessed either by our vehicles or by public transport. They generally start at 9:30am and finish in the afternoon at 3:00pm. 

There are also further opportunities to get involved - support young people to go on set activities and as you become more confident and experienced talk to the Team Leader about supporting someone 1:1 or in a small group to go out and do something special (for example take in a rugby league game, go to a movie, attend a swim class).

The role also opens up opportunities for the creative people who want to start a new activity and invite people with a disability to join in. Really the sky is the limit.
