Why do you think other uni students would benefit from working in this sector while they study?

The work that I am involved in is not only extremely beneficial for applying for future roles in the AID and disabilities sector, however working in this sector is undoubtedly the most rewarding thing I have ever done. The experience you gain from working first hand with people with special needs, is something you could not possibly gain from another industry/sector.

Whilst studying the work/ shifts are very flexible around my study timetable, which allows me to express myself to my highest capabilities, along with maintaining good marks with my studies. The pay is also great and the benefits that come with the role are far better than I have ever gotten.
