About Our Client

Our client will be starting her first year at Oxford University from September, studying a degree in English Literature. She is a full-time electric wheelchair user and requires support in all aspects of her daily life.

She is adventurous and looking forward to exploring all aspects of university life, including travel opportunities, academic events & debates, and parties.

As written by our client...

I am looking forward to living away from home for the first time. I need my personal assistants to be responsible, flexible and friendly. I want you to help me live independently and have the normal university experience. I have been swimming since I was a toddler and I hope that I will be able to continue this in Oxford. I might explore other disability sports such as horse riding as I really enjoyed going donkey riding when I was younger.

I am bilingual (speaking English and German) and lived in Berlin for a year with my family when younger. I enjoy visiting new places and I am really excited by the prospect of moving to an entirely new city. I want to make the most of my experience in Oxford going to the cinema/theatre, bars and clubs, and participating in university societies as well as focusing on my academic studies. I dont want my personal care needs to get in the way of this. I want us to have a good working relationship and be able to talk through any issues if they arise. Im really looking forward to being at Oxford University and I hope you enjoy the Harry Potter vibe as much as me.
