Tasks at your Placement Site

In general, your placement can look a bit different in each location compared to another. Furthermore, you can also incorporate your own interests and strengths, so your placement can be quite different from that of your predecessor. If you are unsure about a task, whether or how you can fulfill it, always be sure to talk to your supervisor at the placement. The placement has the professional oversight, meaning overall responsibility for your placement. If you want to discuss things further, reach out to your education coordinator at the Red Cross.
