Post Room Supported Internship

Adam

Adam Greening is a Supported Intern working in the Post Room at County Hall. His job includes important tasks that help keep the service running.

Adam has enjoyed many day to day tasks. He has been putting records into the computer and learning about IT systems. Stamping letters, and removing confidential papers for secure disposal. This process is called destruction. Adam has learned why confidentiality is important in the Council. He has learned and how to destroy paper the right way which is important in the post room. He has also learned about recycling to support the Council’s sustainability goals.

He works with Guy, Daisy, and Emma, who run the Post Room. Adam says they have been very friendly and have supported him throughout his journey. This has made the internship enjoyable and doable. Adam has also had help from his Job Coach. That support turned something he felt unsure about into a positive experience that is no longer scary.

One of Adam’s favourite tasks is destruction. He says, “I like destroying. It is putting paper in the blue bins, and it is cool to do.” Adam has enjoyed the internship so far. He has learned different computer techniques, felt part of a team and felt supported at work.

When asked about his role, Adam summed it up in one sentence: “Sorting and distributing incoming mail and packages.”

Adam is looking forward to next term when he will work in a different department of the Council. He is excited to learn new skills but says he will miss the Post Room.
