As written by the client

Hi, Im Toby. I have a genetic condition called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, which affects every muscle in my body and, therefore, my ability to walk. But, I wont let this stop me! I study Product Design, and I am about to start my final year of university at Nottingham Trent. However, due to my condition, I will need a group of full time personal assistants to help me with personal care and accessing my education.

At university, I want to be as independent as possible, and for this to happen, I will need someone willing to be part of a team of personal assistants for me. Dont worry, it wont feel like you work for me, but it will be like we are mates. This will enable me to study the subject that I love and live away from home for the duration of my studies. I live in my own adapted

house in Nottingham, with the addition of a spare room for PAs.

I want to make university a fun period of my life, so I am looking for someone who has a good sense of humor. You must be understanding and patient, and work on initiative as well as respecting my privacy.
