About our Client

As written by him ...
"In September, I'm planning on going to university in London. Due to my disability, I will need 24/7 care to help me with my daily activities. I will be living in student accommodation in an area of London called Bloomsbury and there will be an additional room provided for my PA.
Seeing as we'll be spending a lot of time together, I need my PA to be someone I get on with. This not only means someone who I can have a good chat with, but also someone who's comfortable if I'm slightly less talkative when I'm tired after a long day. I would also like someone who shares my interests, which I'll talk more about below. With that being said, while I do want a PA who I get on with really well, I also want a PA who's able to keep their distance when I'm with my friends or doing things such as attending a lecture.
Although I will probably need a bit more help round the streets of London than round a school campus, this approach of being there when I need you but also able to be discrete is really important to me."
