About Our Client:
Our client suffers from Narcolepsy, which can result in sudden collapses and general fatigue throughout the day.

You will provide our client's with health and social care.

As written by her ..
"I have chosen to study English and Drama because they have always been my favourite subjects. I love all things musical theatre and love to watch musicals/plays/see bands playing.
- I enjoy going out and socialising, whether that be, going for meals, going to a pole dancing class or clubbing , so PA's who arenot only prepared to, but looking forward to, supporting me with the social aspect of student life are really important. I have a good sense of humour; I do not take myself too seriously! It's just really important to me that all care is undertaken in a discreet manor under
my instruction - I just want to get it done so I can continue with whatever I'm doing; my
personal needs shouldn't ever get in the way of living life!
I hope to find aerial classes that I can attend when at university and would need support to get there and supervisor while I take part."
