My name is Tom. I work as a Laboratory Assistant at the Environment Agency’s National Laboratory Service in Devon. I get paid to do my job. I travel by bus and train and then walk to get to work. I wear special clothes and glasses at work to keep me safe.
In the laboratory I get rid of water samples that aren’t needed anymore and recycle different plastics. It’s great to be working here. In March 2018 I spoke at the United Nations in New York about my job at the World Down Syndrome Day Conference. In June 2018 I won the Significant Achievement Award at the Employment Related Services Association (ERSA) Annual Awards.
