Disability Support Workers employed by the Department of Communities are known as Social Trainers. Social Trainers support individuals with an intellectual disability or Autism to live their lives as independently as possible. This may involve support with their personal care including bathing, dressing, personal hygiene and toileting, household duties and community activities. 

Social Trainers may be required to work with either adults or children, in a variety of accommodation options, across the Perth Metropolitan Area. Social Workers work shifts with a changing roster involving a mix of morning, afternoon and overnight shifts rostered across Monday to Sunday.
