Primary job responsibilities;
My main responsibility was to make sure the workers with Intellectual Disability at the Blue Wall were doing their job. This meant co-supervising three adult men as they worked in the food services during the lunch rush. This meant making sure they were wearing gloves, stocking up silverware and napkins, cleaning spills and not cleaning tables where people were sitting. Overall I had an excellent experience because I got to know the men and their different personalities.
I would rate this experience as excellent and would recommend this job placement site to other students who have never had experience being around people with Intellectual Disability because it gave me a chance to know people on a personal level and I never felt like I had to act as an authority figure over them. I had never worked with people with developmental disabilities and this was a very positive experience.
I would advise future students not to settle for their first place they interview for. You may not agree with policy or how things are run, and may end up miserable for a few months. Instead, research various sites and interview with them to decide which is the best for you.
